Up on laundry mountain
There are whispers in these hills
Stories that say these peaks were formed when god
Themself
Grew weary
And left their washing up
in divine magnificent piles amongst
The mortal land
Just as they planned
I hear one time the neighbors dug a hearty pair
Of underwear
With flames on the bottom
Alongside their thicket
They say it’s their ticket
Off of this hill and proof
That there’s more above than our little minds can reckon
I reckon, but
It’s hard to say that unders mislaid
Feels much like the ineffability
I was promised.
And I can’t help but wonder what happens to this rock
If the great unknown ever runs out of socks.

Harty chuckle! Enjoyed that.
The world needs more funny poems. Thank you!
Used to be all I wrote! It was nice to see some sense of humor come back to my work for a moment.
