The Washing Machine

 

 

 

 

The Washing Machine

 

 

Pearls in the palm

Of a lovely woman

Glimmer and shimmer and twinkle

 

A promise to abolish

All stubborn stains

And fabric

That never wrinkles

 

Stale lamb blood

Dyed in white

For our customers'

Satisfaction

 

Now once you've learned

For every nasty deed

Stomps a nastier reaction

 

So take the fundamental step

And break the circling arrow

 

Wild fires are yours to intercept

And horizons are yours to narrow

 

…

 

Get your head outta that washing machine.

Wow! on the surface this is light hearted but a second read or perhaps a third and it delivers a nice smack to the buttocks of us sheeple. Well done.

Impressive, the title speaks for itself and the ending makes it really profound.
It looks like a screen but it is a washing machine indeed.
Well done dear... keep them coming.
