Apron for sale – needs
good home;
no kids or cats …
please!

One lady owner;
pre-washed denim
for that lived-in,
vintage look.

Slightly soiled seconds so,
no lifetime guarantees.

Apron for sale – free
to good home.
No strings attached.

Poignant, wryly funny. So much in so little, like Hemingway's small ad, or Brautigen's bagatelles. Very good indeed.

I have a mug which reads thusly: 'Gardening forever, housework whenever.' Says it all, really. We won't be remembered for how clean we were, as you so rightly say, but for the life we leave behind. Nice one :-) http://www.ukauthors.com http://www.ukapress.com

You know what they say, Andrea? 'Many a true word is written on a mug' And they don't come much truer than the words on yours. Cheers;-)
