Wrinkle Shield

Here's something that occurred to me while emptying the dryer.  For those who do not use clothes dryers, you should know that Wrinkle Shield (some brands call it Wrinkle Guard or something else similar), tries to prevent wrinkles by turning the clothes over periodically until someone unloads the dryer. You should also know that the part of the dryer that rotates is called the drum and that Whirlpool is a popular brand of appliances in the U.S. 


                                                          Wrinkle Shield
                                                Since even permanent press
                                                does not last a lifetime,
                                                the trick is to take a tumble
                                                each time wrinkles start to set:
                                               
                                                a few moments of headlong free

                                                fall keep things feeling fresher yet.

                                                 And in those sunny countries
                                                where our Whirlpools are unknown,

                                                people and laundry turn together

                                                on this daily dryer drum,

                                                savoring the scented breezes

                                                since no buzzer says they're done.
