A sad day at my house

by | Oct 2025 | Community

My clothes dryer was set for 50 minutes
Then I opened the door, ready to fold,
Hey! What went wrong here?
Everything was wet and cold!

So I set a different dial
To give them another chance,
They had better dry soon
I’m almost out of underpants!

Sadly, it still wasn’t working
Where do I turn, without a spouse?
I put each pair on a hanger,
And hung them all over the house.

I was glad that company didn’t come
Those pants were dancing, and having fun,
I called my daughter, Kathy, crying the blues
She said, “Don’t worry, I’ll get it done.”

Two hours later, I get a call
She had gone to an appliance store,
Bought a new dryer and paid for it,
What a relief, I couldn’t ask for more.

The dryer will be delivered tomorrow
Now I’m hoping it will fit in the door,
Maybe somebody could have fixed it
But my happy, dry underwear got shoved

Into a waiting drawer.
