We hear of them throughout our lives,
“That’s not really true – it’s a myth”.
There are so many of them around,
But today I dispelled a myth,
I proved that it was true.
I have always believed in the myth,
But today my life changed
As real knowledge was shown to me,
There is a bottom to it,
There is a bottom to the ironing basket!

Oh lol, good write Gold. 'Myth' can also have some technical or religious sense. I've forgotten what it is.
Bit like 'mystery' in Biblical sense, which can mean 'revealed secret'. Erm, so then it's no longer a mystery....
You led me in so hard with that, I must say. Did not expect the comic relief at the end! What a suckerpunch. I'm glad you can see the bottom of yours, 'cause I can't see the bottom of mine!
Lovely piece to start the day.
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure Nicholas,.
Clever words about knowing why the ironing baskets have bottoms - -your loving care of household duties will not go un-noticed by heaven above. Love the number you chose too.
Thank you so much for your kind words Fay.
Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ We both love Jaques Loussier and Ravels Balero lalways conjours mauve images of Torville & Dean ! Loved your MYTH !
CONFUCIUS HE SAY ~
Dimenions of Ironing Basket are
governed by size of Family !
If clothes to be ironed are added as fast
as those that are being ironed ~
Ironing Basket is BOTTOMLESS !
