Laundry Day

Hooray it’s laundry day A perfectly lazy day Where all I need do Is get up once in a while For quick transfers Just a flick of a button And wait for the magic to unfold I have it so easy – growing up My mom raised us six kids The car weekly loaded with laundry Heading down to a local laundromat Imagine the mountains of laundry! Clothes for eight, linen and the rest Often one of the eldest would go help Then sometimes treated to an ice cream She had it so easy – I remember My grand-mother’s laundry day Piles of laundry scattered everywhere She’d roll out the manual wringer washer She’d use brute strength and it took forever Then she’d hang it all on the clothesline I think how times have changed and love how Three generations meet every laundry day AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on May 18, 2020 for contest BRIAN'S CHOICE K sponsored by BRIAN STRAND Originally posted on March 27, 2018
