This is a poem by Lilly M. Sharp.
“Wash Day”
–
When wash day comes around
And the day is looking blue;
One feels like saying
I won’t wash to day would you.
–
You go to work at something else
But your mind is on the wash
For dirty clothes are not nice
To think about or josh.
–
You look out side to see
If the weather’s changed at all;
You imagine that it has
And that you see old Sol.
–
You feel like going at it
And have it off your mind;
So you put the water on to heat
Though you know you are behind.
–
You go at it with at will
And mean to see it through;
The clothes are all on the line
Altho, the day was blue.
