happy hour is over

Challenge at Poetics Pub to use drinking words (listed) for a non-drinking activity…


last call for dirty laundry as granny

loaded tumbler for one more round,

tipping a bodacious shot of bleach.

“c’mon, help tie one on the clothesline,”

she says, hanging three sheets to the wind.

then turns sour, seeing hair of the dog on

whites;  kamikaze-like, she yells straight-up

“choose your poison, we gotta rewash ’em!”

    Oh my gosh!! You’ve created quite a character here…chuckling I am at your clever use of mixology terms. And granny sounds like she’s ready to belt one down!😊

    So hilarious, Lynn. Last call for laundry. A bit of an OCD granny that sees the dog hair on the sheets. Ha ha! ❤
