Note: The brand name on the detergent box at the bottom of the picture was clearly seen as 'Ivorine' in the original photo ( but somewhat blurred here).
A Maid's Dilemma
Ivorine!
Must I try another?
They seemed all the same
But Madam's lingerie
was all tattered
The previous one was bad
A repeat tryout again?

What's a maid to do? Cute!
I can't help feeling sorry for that maid! Wow - 139 characters and you packed so much in it! Awesome!
Oh, yes! What is a maid to do??? Poor gal! Wouldn't want to be in her shoes! Great take on the pic of the day! Hope you have a wonderful week!

Oh, dear, the trials and tribulations of a laundry maid. I think Madam should bite the bullet and throw away the tattered lingerie. Unique take on this week's MM.
I would hate to be a maid.
Good take on this picture, Bravo!
It should help her wash whiter than white LOL! :O)
Enjoyed all the three poems, bro Hank. Wish there're more poetry lovers in this country who can admire your talent. I leave it to you to woo them thru tj fb.
Dear Hank,
Reminds me of the brand "Dutch Baby" which grew up to "Dutch Lady" but that's for condensed Milk!
Back to the old washing board on this one.... :O)
This is a good take on the pic.
Doing laundry can be a bit tricky at times.;))
Thank you so much for your kind visit and a lovely comment,
xoxo
Tricky task that laundry can be... but shouldst thou find just the right kind for the Madam's lingerie.
tattered lingerie is a problem ;)
Wonder if she ever considered that the steel washboard might be part of the problem? Great take.
Nice girl to concern herself with Madam's tattered unmentionables! Good job.

Hmm...I'm thinking the washing board is to blame!
hope, she seems so, yes.
KB, thanks
Susan, may be so.
Detergent or washboard? Methinks it's the washboard or the scrubber who's unhappy with her job.
You just have to keep trying till you find the right one!
can you imagine doing laundry by hand? i think all my clothes might be torn and tattered...
As one who is continually searching for the "miracle" cleaner for teen clothes, I understand her dilemma!
Well done!
