Perfect. Ours was for hiding the dog or my little brother under. It was a jail cell, a race car, spaceship and a dozen other things. What it wasn't good for was a swimming pool and of course clothes basket. Perfect, perfect, perfect!

LOL! Thank you so much!
Comment from CrystieCookie999
I guess this poem is written for me, because I have a tendency to pile an armload of clothes on the floor half the time. The laundry basket is in an adjoining room, though. Nice poem that points out it's just a matter of shifting "your arm two inches or three" to get those clothes in the proper place. If I had children, I would post this someplace prominent in the kids' room, ha ha.

Thanks! I read it to my grandson (the main culprit) & he said "You're welcome!" for being my inspiration. LOL!

That is way funny.
Comment from patricia dillon
It might be a little thing, but I can see how it would be annoying. I, too, have had issues with laundry. My partner broke the washing machine through overuse. Might I just point out that the font is a little difficult to read against the dark background?

I'm willing to bet you have children or an oblivious husband. I heard your rant, loud and clear. And I applaud the creative way you expressed it. Good luck in the contest. Gretchen

Comment from nancyjam
Oh my God this is hilarious. Just this morning I found clothes on top of the hamper. Would it really that hard to lift the lid and put it IN! I'm sure your poem will hit home with a lot of wives and mothers.
Great rhyme and meter for a delightful read.

It's an ongoing problem --my grandson is the main culprit & when I read him the poem, he said "you're welcome!" for being my inspiration. Tonight I watched him throw his clothes at the hamper, he looked at me, then said, "oh, all right" & put them in. Victory! Thanks for the review!
Comment from Mark Jackson
At the start, I thought that this poem might be about having to do a whole host of chores. But it turned out to be focused upon just one laundry or in fact one task of laundry picking it up. I feel that was a great idea to concentrate your rant keeping it clear and focused. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks so much! Your insights are always helpful.
Comment from jessizero
It was a little awkward that you rhymed "I must" with "I must," but it's not that big of a deal. I got a kick out of your poetic rant. My father doesn't use the hamper, either. LOL. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

lol. Well said. So many have this annoying habit. Dare I say it is mostly males who commit this horrendous crime. Thanks for sharing this one - many of us will relate.

Thank you so much! (Yes, it's mostly my grandson & when I read the poem to him he said, "You're welcome!" for inspiring my creativity . . . but he still throws the laundry on the floor-LOL!)
Comment from GoWiSt
Good reading flow and nice couplet rhymes.
"How much more difficult could it be
to shift your arm two inches or three" Oh, the utter, utter agony of the effort! How so sadisti of you to expect this! Oh, oh!
"Just what is a laundry hamper for?" To look cute in a corner--and quite empty.
An acquaintance uses the lavatory then goes to the 'kitchen' sink to wash his hands--where there's a bleedin' sink right there in the freakin' lavatory!!! Sorry, this was meant to be your pet peeve, not mine. *sigh*

Thank you very much! I feel you about the sink--my daughter does the same, but that's another peeve for another poem-LOL!

I can feel your frustration through your words. When my kids were little, they seemed to do this. I feel your frustration. Well written. Great job
