That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 28, 2020

That 20 mile walk to the nearest laundromat was a real pain.

Documented proof that laundry day has always been a pain in the neck.

“I was told I was going to be in a Gauguin painting! Who is this Paul Guy?”

On windy days, that hat took off and carried Flora with it.

brigitte, on her way to audition for the lead role in the flying nun…

The laundress is wondering why/ modern science has failed to supply/ for the good of her spine/ some kind of a line/ for the load is much lighter when dry.

The problem was well past emergent/ it was growing increasingly urgent/ as oftener and oftener / she sipped fabric softener/ and snorted her laundry detergent…

The malevolent tree ogled her as she came closer and closer. Would he be able to bend his trunk far enough to catch her in his huge maw? Would he be able to dine on the poor laundress as he had Charlie’s kites? Tune in tomorrow to “Absurdland Predators” for the shocking details as the tree branches out!

“I wish somebody would invent incontinence pads” she thought

Lunestra is not just for bedtime anymore. It softens the view of the world around me and I no longer care.

She wasn’t wasting one of her genie wishes to have a smaller lamp.

Very lame

Eventually the townspeople who had been posing for local artist Paul Sérusier took up a collection to buy him a new, stronger pair of glasses.

Although she’d never been more than a few miles from home, Sharon had had enough of her starving artist boyfriend’s bohemian lifestyle. She packed all her earthly possessions and set out on her own for freedom and independence. You might say she took the load less travelled.

The tree, mighty hungry, eagerly awaited his order of upside down swan.

…and then Sharon remembered; Todd only eats gluten free.

‘And the sky, is a hazy shade of’……..well actually, everything is a hazy shade of whatever.

Sharon hated being the laundress for the Klan.

When shown the finished painting, the model lamented “for this I spent 2 hours fixing my hair and make-up?!”

On a serious note: Is this really considered good??

“Brewed with pride and just a kiss of the hops that puts real gusto into every drop” How much is he making this time?

That tree is looking lecherously at her.

The marshmallow harvest was well under way.

all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist (again, Chrome can translate as necessary, and askart.com can be read in full for free on Fridays), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. First work by him used here.

By the time the French and Germans intercepted the shipment, all that was left for the Dutch were the super-jumbo size face masks.

Sharon believed them when they said she’d never be a model unless she could carry books on her head with poise. Unfortunately, she didn’t have any books.

You think you are hot stuff using one hand? I can carry it with both hands tied behind my back!

Something that always amazed me in India was the burdens women carried on their heads.
