Everyone Should Become a Stripper
by Jeffrey ParrenThose of us
without a washer and dryer
to call our own
become quarter hunters.
Ones laying on the street
or in the subway
tucked in the couch
behind the oven
under the pillow
in the backseat of the car
on the kitchen counter
collected in the coin jar
are all hunted
for cleanliness' sake.
Why don't
the washers and dryers
of the world
have dollar bill slots?
A dollar is harder to find
unless
of course
you're a stripper.
And everyone knows
a stripper doesn't need
a washer
or dryer
because
they wear very little
to begin with.
So because of washers
and dryers
everyone should
become a stripper.
Laundry days
would be much happier
and freer. 09/10/2010 Author's Note: It was truly an innocent idea that suddenly became everyone being naked.

But I dunno, it could backfire...if you were a really good stripper and you got $5 dollar bills instead of $1 you would be back to square one. Because life is just lame like that. :P |
