Gerta and Frida are hoping for a man that compares with the size of their sheet they are wringing. next they will fight each other to the death to have him.

Then Sofie made her big mistake, when she snapped her grandma’s butt with the twisted sheet.

Their husbands had no idea that this is also how they made soup for them.

/// Doing laundry back then wasn’t fun.
It took hours before you were done.
Pumping water took muscle,
so did wringing. Then hustle
off to hang it all up in the sun.
/// No one then had a washing machine.
It took scrubbing to get your sheets clean.
All your soap was homemade
and you weekly displayed
dirty laundry, by everyone seen.

They’re not doing laundry. They’re making a huge doobie. That is Denmark after all.

In SchleswIg, they tried to hold on
Outnumbered by fifty to one
But they woke up to find
Their frontier redefined
And now, even Holstein was gone…

InDenmark, some men seem to feel
You can disregard sex appeal
In your choice of a wife
Since you’ll have her for life.
Choose a girl with a grip of steel..

At this point, Ethyl pointed out it might have been easier to have just burned the sheets in which they murdered her friend’s husband

The girls had a reputation of being able to get the bedsheets sparkling white. The problem was the lingering faint odor of urine on them.

The sunshine is just one more perk/
Many unseen benefits lurk /
Unnoticed, but present/
In the life of the peasant
In her healthful outdoor work.

I wonder if Melcher was an art history major. He certainly finds some interesting paintings.
