Dirty Laundry

One should have a clean conscience;

For everything comes out in the wash......eventually.

On wet floors, one slips.

A stain leaves a mark;

Now history noted.

One does not need

To seek the truth.

But.. sit back,

Watch and

Wait.

What lies ahead!!

I think some people would find this to be pretty ominous. I'm glad I have a clear conscience, speaking for myself. Last line should make people reflect big time. lol Nice one andrew.

Lol,I have work induced Tourettes,7-4,swear like a trooper then revert to holier than thou when stepping onto my driveway

Yes, for some reason or another, this reminds me of the saying. "One should keep their mouth shut, and be thought of as a fool, Than to open their mouth and confirm it" haha (easier said than done, for some:))
I do enjoy the metaphor in this write...airing dirty laundry, especially over the Internet is unwise.

Clever write, Andrew.

[andrew mitchell]

[Gee]

Excuse my French but there are some right wankers on here who hide behind their cowardly keyboards.

So true how it all comes out eventually, maybe not today maybe not tomorrow but eventually it all comes out. Sometimes patience is all you need. Awesome metaphor AM
