Myth Cracking.

Goldfinch60



We hadn’t done it for a while,

Could I do it again?

Would I have the energy

To cope with the intensity

Of the task ahead?

It had grown and grown,

Now it was starting to overflow,

But I managed it

And I cracked the myth.

There is a bottom,

To the ironing basket.

    Getting out that old iron again when one gets hot put it to its task pressing hard flat down. A fun poem Andy

        You was doing some ironing before also, I recall - about 10 million poems ago. Summat like that! lol.
        Did you strike while the iron was hot? No use if it's not hot! lol.

        • Goldfinch60

          Yes that was a long time ago Orchi. LOL

          You would think in the 21st century, everything would be wrinkle free.
          In saying that, it is therapeutic ironing to music.

            I can remember my father doing the ironing with his music playing Paul.

              Don't get it..... What's an iron? Is this iron to be found in the bottom of the basket?

              • Goldfinch60

                Back in the day irons were everywhere Dave, now they are hidden away.
