Changing The Duvet Cover

Introduction

Today I changed the duvet cover and was reminded of the accurate meme above.

So I thought I would write a villanelle about the trials and tribulations of doing this. I do wonder whether this should be a Humor Community piece or a Poetry piece but it's only two hundred words or so, so that means Poetry with a Humor tag.

The Lurkers' "Ain't Got A Glue" is appropriate.

It should be simple but it always confounds me, though I do get there eventually. Proof below:
