To the tune of Ode to Joy. Obviously.

On the first day of ironing Orion gave to me a towel that was completely flat
On the second day of ironing Orion gave to me two fitted sheets
And a towel that was completely flat
On the third day of ironing Orion gave to me three pillowcases
Two fitted sheets
And a towel that was completely flat
On the fourth day of ironing Orion gave to me four duvet covers
Three pillowcases
Two fitted sheets
And a towel that was completely flat
On the fifth day of ironing Orion gave to me FIVE TEA TOWELS
Four duvet covers
Three pillowcases
Two fitted sheets
And a towel that was completely flat
On the sixth day of ironing Orion gave to me six frilly school shirts
FIVE TEA TOWELS
Four duvet covers
Three pillowcases
Two fitted sheets
And a towel that was completely flat
On the seventh day of ironing Orion gave to me seven waterproof anoraks
Six frilly school shirts
FIVE TEA TOWELS
Four duvet covers
Three pillowcases
Two fitted sheets
And a towel that was completely flat
On the eighth day of ironing Orion gave to me eight sheets still soggy
Seven waterproof anoraks
Six frilly school shirts
FIVE TEA TOWELS
Four duvet covers
Three pillowcases
Two fitted sheets
And a towel that was completely flat
On the ninth day of ironing Orion gave to me nine plastic tablecloths
Eight sheets still soggy
Seven waterproof anoraks
Six frilly school shirts
FIVE TEA TOWELS
Four duvet covers
Three pillowcases
Two fitted sheets
And a towel that was completely flat

Why only nine days? I've run out of examples of ridiculous things we've had to iron. Warning, quantities may be inaccurate (I've ironed far more of all these things, apart from the tablecloths, but they definitely do get ironed, even though they're made of splash-proof plastic-coated fabric).
More verses may be added on request from any of the people who set us ironing here.
Hope you enjoyed the musical interlude, ta ta for now.
