American poet laureate Robert Maytag:

I’d leave my clothes in a giant heap,
But I have promises to keep,
And loads of wash before I sleep,
And loads of wash before I sleep.

“I was walking down a long corridor, Dr. Freud, with a huge salami in my arms, and on both sides of me were these open washing machines, kind of beckoning. I think they wanted my salami, but I held it tighter and tighter, refusing to give it up. Finally, I got to the end of the corridor and there was suddenly a terrible darkness, and someone or something pulled the salami free from my grasp.”

“Fascinating dream, Fraulein. Tell me. Was the salami wearing socks?”
