Life above the Laundry-O-Mat
At the Suds and Duds,
It can be interesting,
Occasionally enough.
I live above the Mat,
But not for long, I hope.
I met my boyfriend, Jim Bob there
Said he needed to do a load once
That’s how we met.
Today the Import guy from India
Came in, He said he is a consultant,
Or something like that, he said,
He makes systems for big hotel chains,
But I think he sells washers and dryers.
He calls me Princess, that’s funny,
He said he wasn’t selling anything today,
Just needed to do a load maybe,
Then he said, Princess, I feel like dancing,
So I turned on his favorite station,
And he danced, while i just watched.
I could not believe it, so funny,
He was twerking and clapping to India Rap,
It was all I could do to fluff and fold,
Then he ask me to join him.
And I said, “What do you think this is,”
Bollywood or something, I said;
I can’t do that, he was twerking his neck,
Stomping one foot, then the other,
Then, he clapped three times and repeated,
And I just laughed and I tried it.
So I told him, at the Laundry- o-mat,
“Hey Import man, “I need my music to dance,
Looking for none of that.” I said,
I can’t do the Indian dance.
When I told him that, he laughed,
Then we did a number together,
My girlfriends just watched,
They were so jealous.
How about it, it’s the first time,
I’d seen anything like that,
But it made us happy,
And that’s all I know about that.
Life above the Laundry-O-Mat
It ain’t so bad, because today we laughed
And we danced, and it felt good,
Something like that,
If you know what I mean.
Growing up my friends lived above the laundromat so when Saturday wash day came around I loved it. I have been wanting to do a photo shoot in a laundromat

You should do something like that. Always something fun going on. I think we are planning a block party on the street this summer. Bring a dish to share, BYOB and your lawn chair. And your camera and hang. Your invited.

I liked the dance -lots of fun. If I had been in line, I’d have danced with you! I thank you for the nomination but I do not accept awards. But this makes me really smile that you would nominate me for such a wonderful award. and since you are nominating, that means you received the award. Congratulations to you! I always like it when bloggers I enjoy get awards, especially something like the angel award.

Thank you and I have so much fun writing it. She is always waiting for something or an event to make it interesting. But mostly readable. She is quite a character the way she looks at things. If you know what I mean.
