The hamper seeks to over-flow from too much soiled garb
I've gathered o'er a lifetime so this laundry in a word,
from where it has lain un-disdurbed some score of years must go,
into the wash for cleanliness is good (or so I've heard).

I round up one big arm-load mindful of my peas and cues.
It will not do to wash them in their present crusty state.
Pre-treatment is pre-requisite for really stubborn goo,
(best results obtained if you use full strength concentrate).

Arrange it so the load won't skew off center by too much,
(it's laundry after all and better if not mis-construed).
If softener is needed, add alot, not just a touch,
the fluffier, the better, it does not look quite so crude.

I hope these rules for laundering improve what's on your lines,
then when your hamper's empty you can come help me with mine.

LOL, Dr.Moose....I don't think any other words are needed here.
Hilarious, but also philosophical.
A grand write.

The trick (I've heard) is not to let it build up! Thanks for the laughs, Doc!

Rats, I was hoping for a picnic hamper write. Very funny I could see you up to your elbows in hot water.
