At present, I own five articles of nightwear, all of which resemble glorified T-shirts - only longer. Nothing wrong with that. No.
But, can any Blogger explain to me why I am having to exist with only two? One on, one in the wash....WHERE ARE THE OTHER THREE HIDING? Are they huddling together for warmth in some dark drawer or cupboard? Have they turned into an Invisibility Cloak, like Harry Potter's? And let's face it, it would have taken an army of Borrowers to have purloined ONE garment, let alone three...
Why can't I find them?
I shall be eternally grateful if anybody can come up with an unusual suggestion as to where they may be hiding, or how I might set about tracking them down... Even better, if you can do it in rhyme!
A Quandary
My nighties have got flighty
they've been and fled the coop
I cannot find 'em anywhere -
Am I a nincompoop?
Okay, I'll answer that one straight away - Yep!
Jinksy:
ReplyDeleteThere's a secret place to where
(in you I will confide)
single parts of pairs of socks
flee or maybe even hide
Perhaps your nighties have flown the coup
And gone the same route ...
to sock heaven to reside.
Our good 0'pal Jinksy's in a jam.
ReplyDeleteShe can't find some of her jammies.
Most probably they're on the lam.
How will she now count the lam'ies?
t shirts are for daytime
ReplyDeletelingerie for night
the missing clothes
have fled your home
to set your nightwear right!

This reminds me of my phone that I found underneath a stack of towels in the linen closet.
ReplyDeleteUm, try looking there. (You never know) :-)
I find socks stuck in works of my dryer,
ReplyDeleteAnd bigger stuff balled up in a half-dried sheet;
Beyond that, well, we’re now down to the wire,
Did you . . . ah, to ask that wouldn’t be discreet . . .
Tis a solution much older than dirt
ReplyDeleteWhen in the habit of losing night shirts
One must look under the bed
Or 'neath the pillow instead
He discarded it there, ye ole flirt.
I know you will have found them ...
ReplyDelete... Those t-shirts gone astray ...
'Cause by the time
you read you read this rhyme
It will again be day.
Sorry..."you read" went down twice ...
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long day ...
I don't know, but if you come across a stray pj top when you're looking ...
ReplyDeleteWhen wardrobes consume,
ReplyDeletethey loom
large over the dark hole,
a world, whole.
You might be dismayed
to find nightwear mislaid,
but someone has got it,
and perhaps they thought it
wouldn't be wrong
because it's not really gone,
merely carried deeper
than the usual seeker
will usually go,
through the mountains of snow
that we don't believe
or even conceive
may lie beyond the catch,
keyed to socks that mismatch.
:P
When you do your washing,
ReplyDeletethings edged with pretty lace,
hankies, socks and underpants
hide inside the pillow-case!
And sometimes in the summer time
when you hang things out to dry
ladies find their T shirts, bras and pants
get nicked by passers-by.(*)
(*) Euphemism. I mean perverts, of course. (I'll bring you your T-shirts back if you ask me nicely HEHEHE!)
I've finally decided to donate the clothing I've worn for the past 20 years. Finally fed up and sorting them out, I've found missing articles of clothing, and old nightie, and the odd sock and stocking. Maybe your nighties are hiding in a similar fashion!
ReplyDeleteJinksy, I hope you don't think it too rude
ReplyDeleteIf I just suggest you just sleep in the nude!
Jim-jams are the answer. definitely.
ReplyDeletehave you tried the kitchen????i've found many a lichen while sleepwalking on an empty constitution
ReplyDeleteI guess it's quite a quandry
ReplyDeleteAs to who has stole your laundry,
But a little word of caution -
I'm told they're in an auction..
Word is (so I am led to understand)
Certain Gentlemen love this contraband,
And should you care to look on Ebay,
You might solve the mystery.
The people from the bureau took them.
ReplyDeletelol...this is funny.
