    That’s why you should always use disposable dishes and forks, knives, and spoons!

    The last lament was not quite as poetical as the main lament. I feel Agnes can do much better (with the laments if not the dishes).

    I dunno. I kinda like “hot claws of despair”.

    My daughter doesn’t say it, but she always acts like the world is over when she has to do dishes.

    Agnes’ poetry is so beyond gothe (or is that gothé?). I see great dark clouds of written dispair and anguish in her future. There’s a market for that….

    Doing the dishes can be your salvation. Fortunately when I was in SF we did our own KP. Hallelujah…always headed directly for the back sink. Could sing all day and was always welcome. Long days but a decent break. Feel so sorry for kids who never caught KP…

    This is a poem that was clipped from the paper and taped over my grandmother’s sink:
    “Give thanks for dirty dishes
    We shouldn’t make a fuss,
    For by this stack of evidence
    God’s been good to us.”

    Now that is senseless. It would just add to the land fills.

    My church has something similar:
    Thank God for dirty dishes,
    they have a tale to tell.
    While other folks go hungry,
    we’ve eaten very well.
    For home and health and happiness
    we shouldn’t want to fuss.
    For this stack of evidence,
    God’s very good to us.
