Rusted drums link laundry to hoist. Twist, roll-n-swing.
Drum-roll - a tough crowd today!
Twist the mangle. Log-roll the drum – quick step, quickstep.
Leap forward – drum rolls back toward the laundry – reach, grab, grip hoist’s radial arm as it swings … jump, roll.
Bruised and scratched.
No safety nets for washing-day trapeze in our three-ring circus.
