A Day At the Laudromat

Oh hi me hence to the laundromat Bearing many a malodorous sock As ofttimes a shepherd will boldly go To the babbling brook where the clear waters flow With a line of the wooliest beasties in tow (Or sometimes merely formed up in a row) Which comprise his caprinaerious flock A football jersey, meant for sport Relegated now to work A dozen holed and yellowed shorts Which in a dank corner lurk Some threadbare jeans and faded tees A brace of sweatpants lacking knees And a woolen sweater, rife with fleas I find I must transport As manly heart anticipates the finding of a laundromat queen Perhaps a Vida Guerra clone Or Jennifer Lawrence all alone Or Charlotte McKinney, sans cell phone* But it doesn't seem to be my day, none such are here, I ween. When it comes to laundromatic love it seems I am quite out of luck, For the only lass who toils within Sports globular frame and trebular chin And more body hair than Rin Tin Tin Much like Rosanne Barr with a silly grin, had her face impacted a truck.
*So she can't call for help.
