I really don't mean to be unkind
But is there a word for label-blind?
I'm so glad nobody sees nor knows
The machine is dirtier than the clothes!
The washing machine whirls round and round
Whining ominous clinking and clanking sound
But clothes well-tossed, emerge clean, scrubby washed
Now I'll be in trouble if something is lost!
The hot drying's done before you can blink
I rescue the woollens before they can shrink
My husband's vest's white, the last one went pink
The thought's bad enough to turn me to drink!
The socks are mostly matched in pairs
The wash and I remove creased cash and hairs
I proudly pile all on kitchen chairs
And try to forget common washing scares!
Into the dirt the clean clothes drop
I've paired twelve torn socks but lost one sock
The socks love playing hide and seek
When I'd hoped to have enough pairs for a week!
I found the missing sock later today
After I'd thrown its mate away
But washing's done, I feel a winner
I'm wearing clean clothes - and just spilled the dinner!
