“Why Don’t You Let Me Iron That for You?”
When there is a wrinkle, she works fast to smooth it out.
She loves to plug the iron in and move it all about.
Steam wafting all around her, she executes arm action.
She finds it scintillating dealing with each new infraction
of the rule that each garment should hang seamless and true,
without a single furrow dividing it from you.
She feels no reluctance in relieving clothes of wrinkles—
no puckers and no creases. No scrunches and no crinkles.
Because of her I’m faultless. My wardrobe is sublime,
for in Yolanda’s view, a wrinkled garment is a crime!
Yolanda has been my housekeeper, accomplice and friend for twenty years now. She rearranges my belongings, leaving little jokes, removes dust and fingerprints and generally rules the roost when it comes to the state of my house. In addition, neither I nor any houseguest can leave the house without meeting with her discerning eye. and if she spots a wrinkle, you can be sure she’ll whip the iron out and insist that it be dealt with. I’ve never yet won an argument to the contrary.

It is. Both my gardener and Yolanda are a pleasure to be around three times a week and she insists that when I get infirm (knock wood) that she’ll move in to care for me.

Yolanda sounds so dreamy
In your rhythmic telling;
It’s good she’s nowhere near me–
She’d see a wrinkled felon!

Interpersonal dedication of that quality is so rare here now that I believe most of us cannot even imagine it.
