Erm!!
Darling, may I introduce P.C. Jellicoe
insistant that he speaks with you, why? I do not know.
Whilst minding my own business washing down your car
with soapy suds and cleaning cloths, things went well that far.
I scrubbed and cleaned your pride and joy and all that it entails
applying so much effort, not once looking at my nails!
I rinsed it once, I rinsed it twice, then rinsed it once again
quite pleased by now that I had rid your car of every stain.
And then this policeman came along and asked me to define
the reason why I'd hung it out on the washing line!!!
(How else would I dry it????)
