a funny poem i found

SORTING LAUNDRY 
by Elisavietta Ritchie

  I found a funny poem that i really enjoyed. She talks about laundry as more than just doing a boring chore its about love and relationships. the sheets and pillow cases could represent her long time lover. She talks about the towels which were on sale which made me picture a couple shopping for their things they need. I found a biblical allusions with the socks because how its impossible to find pairs of socks, to Noah's ark, like each sock has a pair like how each animal has a pair. I also agree with how you also find treasures in your clothes, which i love. I also think she's saying that she cant "fold the clothes" by herself which i take as going through life by herself. I think of the "wrinkles" as little problems all throughout life that have to be sorted out and fixed. I think its so cool and funny how the author took something thats so apart of everyday life and applied it to love and life in general.
