To be honest, I cannot even fold one. Even after years of practice, I still make a mess out of them. I found this very clever and it gave me a big laugh too.

Now, I know why hotels and motels only have flat sheets! Glad you liked.

Being able to fold a fitted sheet lets me out of the competition. I have trouble with that. Not smoking or drinking--those virtues pale in comparison with being able to fold a fitted sheet. Cleverly done, and a humorous question. judi

I suspect it takes more skill than writing a sonnet. :-)

I tried to fold a fitted sheet today. Not easy. Trying to say" I tried to fold a fitted sheet" wouldn't be easy either. judi

LOLOL

Did you try saying it several times? judi

Yep, it does get muddled after a few times. I tried to fiddle ...
Comment from acerisestory
Isn't there a contest you can enter your senryu into, Shari? It would be a strong entry!
You are so right -- what's REALLY important?
Great use of alliteration with deal, drink, fold and fitted. Of course, your accompanying arwork is perfect.
Thanks for sharing! Alana

I'm lucky to get eight reviews in a blind contest, so I stick with the publicity. :-)

Comment from boxergirl
Ha! If you find a man (or woman) who can fold a fitted sheet, please let me know. Those darn things drive me crazy. I even tried to follow the you tube lady as she demonstrated oh so quaintly how to fold one. Bull Crap...it don't work! 8-)

Interesting. I haven't seen the video or tried the diagrams. It's an art that will never be seen. Sigh...
Comment from Glasstruth
Nobody's perfect, but I guess you're asking, Are you useful? The humor is just having good habits doesn't make the person whole. Like you start this with "big deal" Again, very entertaining. Les

Thanks for the insightful review. I married hubby because he could parallel park. :-)
Comment from McMurry903
Yeah, that's about right for the most of us fellows. My new wife is discovering some of these things for her self now. I tell her just use me for my strong suits I'm a great trash hauler and one hell of a lawnmower operator I can also easily use the dishwasher. My approach was to wash and fold all the laundry including sheets and towels once. She appreciated my effort but hated my folding so she just handles it now lol......
Very fun and something we can relate with, my friend!

I enjoyed your story. My daughter won't let her husband do her laundry either, but he has to do his own. Men kind of get the short end of the stick with lawn and trash duty. :-)

Funny stuff! Us guys...so often, neatness is not one of our good points:-) I tend to oscillate between Felix-like living and Oscaresque, lol, habits.
Cheers!

Lol. How 'bout Felixian?
Comment from IndianaIrish
LMAO! You sure are the Queen of senryu, Shari. Oh my, this is so funny. Hell, I can't fold a fitted sheet and have it look decent either. Can anyone? I saw a video once how to fold one, but it was stupid. Thanks for the laugh.
Smiles,
Karyn :-)

You're the second one to comment on following a video. In the long run, I don't think it's important except to the neatniks, of which I'm not one.
Hugs, Shari
Comment from Dean Kuch
Hah-ha! No, as a matter of fact I cannot, Shari, LOL. Oh, I give a good illusion that I've folded it by facing the smoothest side face up in the linen closet. However, on the opposite side, the facing down side, well...that's another story entirely, LOL.
Come to think of it, they don't do too good a job of folding them when you first take them out of the package, heh-heh...

You are certainly the master of these sneers, Spitfire. That is a fabulous one. I'm still laughing. Isn't it the truth? I can't write poetry OR fold a fitted sheet. What a woman you are. LOL Great job.
