Clothes Flattener.

Goldfinch60



I open the cupboard and see it,

See this strange looking object.

It has a flat bottom of steel

With holes punched in it.

There is a point at one end,

And a flat end at the other.

A handle is above with a dial,

And from the back of the handle

There is a lead with a plug on it.

I wonder what it is?

A memory stirs

Of times long passed,

When this was used,

Used to make clothes flat.

GOT IT!

It is an iron!

    Oh lol, good write Gold.
    I get odd looks in some shops if asking if they still sell video tapes. We have a video recorder still. It may be worth millions in a few years - antique?!

      Thanks Orchi.

      Well what do you expect when you go and ask for Betamax tape!
