Laundry hours

[eeyore_grrl]

We have a little laundry room in our building. One pay washer and dryer. It has 8am to 8pm hours. Every so often the neighbors ignore the hours and start doing laundry later and later. It's loud. We don't like that. And there are 24 hour machines on campus not that far away, not as convenient, but still...

So last year I was annoyed and quickly wrote a cheesy rhyming poem about it and hung it in the laundry room. It got moved but stayed up for months. And fixed the problem.

Now one of the neighbors has begun doing it again on several occasions. Ian turned to me and said, "It's past eight, time to write another poem." So I did:



you want clean clothes and we think that’s great
but the laundry hours are 8 to 8
times sooner or later are just plain rude
as the noise it makes could start a feud

so if you want to be a good neighbor
let us sleep in quiet before we labor
one more day of anguish
as your clothes languish
in buckets and bins
tomorrow at 8 a new day begins
