Alas, it was taken

My clothespin was taken from me around 7 pm through an evil betrayal by a certain gimpy friend of ours. It was a sad moment, but it did not go without a struggle. My thanks to my dear friends who put in every effort to defend me! You guys rock! I was so close to making it!! I only had two hours to go! Oh well, at least I was last to go on our team. I tried!
