O protector of my clothes,
without you my laundry pile
would wildly and greatly grow
and for this service I smile.
Your bright color and pattern
add spice to the monochrome
which is typically my outfit.
Happily I’m not late to learn
of this hero in my home
which contributes much to it.
(I don’t profess to be a poet, but I did try to write this as an actual ode)
