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.
