folding the fitted sheet

my six

years of higher education helps

little

in tackling

the mastery of a folded

fitted sheet.

it has baffled men

through the ages, men

such as Einstein

and Pablo Picasso,

and women too,

some

along the lines of Madame

Curie

and Joan of Arc.

she never got it down.

i go to YouTube

for help,

i call my mother,

my sisters,

my neighbor Louise

who had

seven children.

it's complicated they

all say.

drinking doesn't help,

so they advise

to not do that

while attempting

such a feat.

start early in the morning.

go slow.

be patient, they all say.

you've got this.
