with three little girls in the house
For a man who learned
laundry “skills” in college,
long before boys took Home Ec.
We were lucky when there was more
than a single load
(that didn’t cause the washer to tilt)
Now with a four, five, and nine year old
cluster of little princesses
It is darks, whites, and pinks
when I sort their clothes
Separate baskets, separate settings,
for pink clothes –
Capris, and “blouses”, and skorts,
Oh My!
