Organise!

THEME THURSDAY

http://www.theme-thursday.com/
asks us to consider organisation


ORGANISE!

(An Acrostic)

Oh to be neat and tidy, as Granny used to be!
Row upon row of this and that laid-out perfectly.
Give me a pile of artefacts needing to be stowed

And I will shove them anyhow; I simply can't be blowed!
Neatness is desirable ; everything in its place.
I nurture a faint urge for it, but drawers are a disgrace.
Slapdash could describe me; I lose things all the time.
Even so, disorganisation can't be counted as a crime.

(Can it?)

LAUNDRY BLUES.

I do my laundry when I must,

Along with the chore of dusting dust!

I do not long with anticipation

For any domestic situation!

I was born to just sit back

And leave to others the dirt-attack.

All my life I have despised it,

Yet no-one else has realised it!

I think laundry-work's unhealthy;

I'm coming back as someone wealthy

Who finds all laundry-work a bore

And drops her undies on the floor

To be picked-up by a lady's-maid,

After all the beds are made.

I want fresh linen every day

Appearing in a mysterious way

In drawers delicately scented,

When all the washing's circumvented.

I want to slide between clean sheets

(Surely one of life's great treats).

But I emphatically decline

To enjoy hanging sheets out on the line.

Princess Margaret, I've heard said,

Liked clean sheets put on her bed,

Even for a daytime nap!

Give that sensible girl a clap!

I do my laundry when I must

But it makes me feel that life's unjust.

PS

Our friend, Les, who is very happy to be called an eccentric (proud of it, in fact) has just bought himself a red tricycle! He decided his normal cycling days were over but he couldn't quite give-up. As Australians say 'Good on yer!'

A mid-road chat! Not the best idea!

Off he goes.

Gone!
