by heck I've been busy
in the laundry room to-day
washing all my apparel
on this mild Saturday
on the clothesline
is an array of pantaloons
four white bras are catching
the sun's brimming boon
a stiff breeze blows through
the toes of my socks
so too through the hems
of all my party frocks
no doubt Earth washing liquid
cleans the attire well
one could say that
I've fallen under its spell
my neighbor commented
on how my laundry gleams
she wishes that her Whirlpool machine
could fulfill her wash day dreams
one marvels at seeing
such well washed gear
it makes one feel like
letting out an almighty cheer
