Ode to Laundry

Grungy sheets and dirty socks, Soiled dresses by the box. T-shirts, shorts and underwear, Til I am sure I just can’t bear

Once more blasted load and then Once it’s done, it starts again! Rinse it, soak it, wash it twice, Once it’s clean, won’t it be nice?

Bleach it, scrub it, extra spin, Then to the dryer, pop it in! Fluff it up and dry it out. Is this what life is all about? Fold the shirts and crease the slacks, Hang undies on the drying rack.

Shirts are folded , socks in pairs. Now to carry it all upstairs. Sort it, stack it. Put it away. Tomorrow is another day, Of washing, drying, folding too. O’ Laundry, Laundry. I hate you.

But not all laundry is so bad My Thirsties never make me mad. I close the tabs on the hook and loop, And try not to touch the poop. Covers, inserts, fab fitteds too, Reusable wipes? I've used a few. Next my wet bag goes into the machine, Add the pre-wash and start to clean.

Next I add the Super Wash, And turn the temperature to Hot. When the dipes are spic and span I toss them in the drier and Watch our fluffy diapers spin. And once they're dry I will begin To sort the covers, fold and stuff, I just love to wash my Fluff!

  • It’s true – I pretty much hate doing laundry… it’s an all day process (mostly because I wait so long to do it) and then it seems like only on the day I do it we create more dirty laundry then ever so I’m never done! However, on diaper day I can handle the laundry. It’s so nice to pull out clean cloth diapers and fold them up. It’s a simple reminder that we are doing the best we can for the earth and our baby. It’s money saved as well. Pretty soon I’ll get to dry then outside which I am really looking forward to (the smell of sunshine dried clothes in the best!) Thanks for sharing the poem, it was nice!

  • I love this! It’s so true too. Everyone always comments about how I have all this extra laundry I have to do diaper laundry, and I always tell them it’s the only laundry I actually love doing! So easy, and so cute, what’s not to love!?
