Hamper Blues

Blog 366:

From fresh clothing to soiled
Hamper’s load grows and piles  
First just a piece, two, and then three
Soon it is half-filled and oh, so smelly
In just a day or so it reaches the rim
“I’m all heavy and can’t fill up more!” it screams.

Time to lift or drag Hamper away
To not so far distance … just a step … a hop
“Into the washer y’all jump and ride,” she says
Mix with detergent and water lukewarm
Toss and turn up or down and side to side
Wash and play, jump around in circular ride!

Soon after bell rings ding-dong-ding
Washer will tell, “My job’s done here!”
All say thank you and every piece walk out
Into the dryer march in for one more roundabout
Circle and dry, play then turn over and around
Ring-a-ding will sing again when all’s dry and flat!
