Ode to Dryer Sheets

You are so small in size, dear dryer sheet.
With such an unusual, unsettling texture.

Yet, you still find a way, each and every time,
to leave my clothing and other laundry items
static free
and fresh-smelling.

You find the time and energy
to personally touch and spread your magic
to every single item within the confines of the Dryer;
sock,
underwear,
shirt,
and towel alike.
I don't know how you do it.

You do not discriminate.
You never skimp.
You are up to the task of softening even the largest of laundry loads.

I admit, dear dryer sheets, I never fully appreciated you
until I put on a pair of underwear from a batch not
graced with your goodness.

I'm sorry for taking you for granted for so long.

Thank you dear dryer sheets.
