I think I see the message
You don't have any bad habits but you have good conducts or can do the books.
Or is it sexually active?
Am I right?
And if so, which is it?
Please let me know.

    LOL. No sex requirements, although I could add that too. Folding a fitted sheet means exactly what it says. Not an easy skill even with the help of YouTube video explanations.

My dear lady, I STILL cannot fold a fitted sheet .... SO ... beggars can't be choosers!

You do come up with the most oddly interesting things to say, Shari.

    I can't do it either, but they sure make it easier to put on a bed.

I have to humbly admit, I am unable to fold a fitted sheet and my husband can. This is a humorous poem that can apply to both husbands and wives. The last line about a fitted sheet is a surprise.

LOL - I can't even fold a fitted sheet. Someone once taught me, but it isn't worth all the trouble as far as I'm concerned since all the wrinkles come out once the sheet is on the bed. Hugs, Lou

Ha ha that is a that really takes little effort. I saw a video once on how to do it and now I can come pretty close. Everyone needs to see this to avoid the frustration. Maybe Youtube has it. If they still taught home economics, this should be in the syllabus.

    I'll have to take a look at the video. I'm sure it's on and have over a million look-sees. I learned how to iron a man's shirt in Home EC eons ago.

Hi, Shari,

I always love reading your senryu. I wonder what you drink to think up these wonderful, crafty senryu? This one is terrific. It is in fine senryu form, employing humor and some sarcasm. Classic senryu.

The answer to your question is: Heck no, I can't fold a damn fitted sheet. I think I'll go get another vodka tonic.

-Ray

    Well, chocolate brings out the best in me. And I can't fold the sheets either.

It's the kind of fold, kind of roll method. That's how you fold a fitted sheet. Huh, I thought everyone knew that. It's just how you fold them. LOL. Great job friend and I think it's a struggle for most

    That sounds similar to what I do. Fold and roll. Are we talking about sheets or sex? LOL

    Both?

This work has reached the exceptional level

I see absolutely nothing wrong with this sheet. Balled up like that it says a number of things. First, it will not be mistaken for a clean sheet...it fairly screams, "Wash me!" Secondly, it will not slip out of one's hands when carrying to the washer. And third, it says, "Your husband helps around the house." So be grateful, woman. When we lived alone we never changed the sheets. :)

    LOL What an optimistic way to look at this. I love your reasoning. Thanks once again for the six star rating. Trust me, as I get older, the sheet changing time gets longer. Not my idea of fun.

you don't smoke or drink
but can you fold
a fitted sheet?

LOL! Love it. I can't fold one. Can anybody? I think only sheet-folding machines at factories can do it. You need something like seven arms and two platforms. :)

    There's diagrams on the google images and a video on YouTube. But I do it my way. Just ball it up. :-)
