A poem from Stephanie

(With apologies to WCW)

This Is Just To Say

I have ruined
the shirt
that was in
the washer

and which
you were probably
wearing
to
work

Forgive me
it was hideous
and made
you look fat

Like how true you were to the form and meter while being so playful. Very fun!

Wonderful Stephanie!
I think I have written more poems about laundry than any other subject-- so I love your poem!

Hah! Go Steph... For me it would have been bleach stains: my achilles heel.

This is just to say I enjoyed your dirty laundry.
