The way you get worked up.
I can hear you, the noise of your coming, three rooms away.
Are such outbursts necessary?
Why, even the walls vibrate,
Now you’re really going.
Hope you don’t bust anything.
You’re not that young anymore, remember.
There’s no doubt you give it your all.
Do you enjoy it?
Sounds as if you do.
Now you’ve gone quiet, can I come in?
Yes ! The clothes are done, giddy with all that spinning.
One hour, twenty. Wish I had your stamina.
You must be exhausted.
Ha! Perfectly not what I expected. Took me for a spin cycle, John. So fun.

Had a machine like that.
Was a terror in the winters when all was too quiet.
Very creative and so much fun, John. 🙂

Lol … to be fair, the machine is quiet except when it works up to a climax; the similarities to a certain human activity were too strong to ignore 🙂
