Stopping by Washing Machine on a Snowy Evening


BY Kelly Melang
Whose Underwear these are I think I know.   
Is it the little butt that I know?   
He will not see me throwing them in the machine   
To watch his briefs fill with steam.   

My sweet husband must think it queer   
To find a pair of briefs so dear   
Between the bras and workout gear   
Some of the smells I fear.   

I toss the drawers up and away   
Hoping detergent will have its way.   
The only other sound’s the hum   
Of easy dryer as it runs.   

The piles are huge, dark and deep.   
whites and darks and colors in a heap,   
And piles of laundry to go before I sleep,   
And piles of laundry to go before I sleep
