Pet Peeve

It may be stating the obvious.

I don't want to seem ridiculous

but, now that I'm peeved, I feel I must

be getting it off my chest--I must!

The laundry hamper is feeling bored,

patiently waiting inside the door.

The dirty clothing, and so much more,

is piled there beside it on the floor.

It seems so simple a thing to me--

what the problem is, I just can't see.

How much more difficult could it be

to shift your arm two inches or three

so laundry drops into the basket?

If it were hard, I wouldn't ask it,

but you refuse this easy task--it

will send me early to my casket!

I must pick the laundry off the floor;

extra work for me is such a chore.

My poor knees creak and my back is sore.

Just what is a laundry hamper for?

The laundry ends up all around the hamper and seldom makes it into the basket. I might as well not have one!
