A routine task made
different
with three little girls in the house
For a man who learned
laundry “skills” in college,
long before boys took Home Ec.
Back then we were lucky
For a man who learned
laundry “skills” in college,
long before boys took Home Ec.
Back then we were lucky
when the laundry room was
empty
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
than a single load
(that didn’t cause the washer to tilt)
Now with a four, five, and nine year old
(or so they were then),
a cluster of little princesses,
It is darks, whites, and pinks
when I sort their clothes
Separate baskets, separate settings,
for pink clothes,
a cluster of little princesses,
It is darks, whites, and pinks
when I sort their clothes
Separate baskets, separate settings,
for pink clothes,
for “dry clean only”–
Capris, and “blouses”, and skorts,
Oh My!
