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!”

Made me smile. Was that a Yorkshire accent?

Could be…but probably Yankee Dutch 😉

I hate laundry day, like it even less if it needs a redo. I liked the mixology referencs. They are well placed

A necessary chore…grandmothers can be religious about it!
