I wrote this back in '94 when I accompanied a friend and his mother to a laundramat in Reading,PA. I was bored to tears,but then my eyes fell on this man who had the stature of a pro wrestler,washing and folding the prettiest little things...



Watching someone's husband fold his wife's designer wear
Folding up the dresses neat and clean with constant care
But does he ever covet all those patterned underwear?
Perhaps he hides there in the closet just to wear them if he'd dare!

He'd look lovely in that nightie,or that wicked leopard frock
Perhaps something off-the-shoulder while the closet is unlocked
He thinks the pink chiffon too dainty,while he's tryin' to beat the clock
But that negligee's so naughty,perhaps he ought to buy the stock!

I see that as he's folding panties,his eyes look faraway
He's dreaming of his wife's vacation when he's free at home to play
He'll dress up like a beefy Barbie in scand'lous lingerie
Now,wouldn't it surprise him that his wife comes home that day?!



September 17,1994

What a marvelous imagination you have.  I am going to be carefully looking to see who is watching, the next time I need to use the laundromat.  I thought it was very funny.  Joyce

Thank you again,Joyce.Now,wouldn't it surprise you that I submitted this offering while wearing something off-the-shoulder!
Just kidding ( rofl ).I am strictly a jeans and tank-top kinda guy.Don't go much for frocks or frills!

Still laughing,Geoff

This was too cute! I can see that you do not have a problem turning boring situations into comedy.

Hey, Geoff, if that guy was a pro wrestler they might have been HIS clothes! I mean, when they wear pink feather boas in the ring, who knows?

Geoff, thank you for the laugh this morning...wonderful poetry and a fantastic sense of humor you do have...Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Thank you,Balladeer,I didn't think of that!
But honestly,those panties he was folding were soooo petite that if he COULD get into them,he would not be wrestling,he would be singing arias at the Met!

Thank you Ellie and kitkat (are you a crunchy,chocolat confection? ).I am glad you enjoyed.Be careful what you fold!And kitkat,
please tell me how your laundramat visitation
went.Any curious clothing capers?

Peace,Geoff
