“L” is for Laundry
An acrostic poem

Large piles of laundry on the floor is it really so bad a chore? some discipline lessens its sense of bore.
Always doin’ my best to clean, fold, and neatly press wrinkles really do look a mess time softens expectations I must confess.
Usually, shirts need mending with buttons to sew I practice mindfulness; to let it flow it can be a blessing to take it slow.
No pair of socks ever stays a match the kids don’t bother, just grab-n-snatch all colors make life fun; one mixed-up batch.
Drying, best done outside, captures a fresh smell sunshine with a bit of breeze will do just swell spots and stains gradually dispel.
Relaxation makes the process pleasant never a task requiring consent a time to think and chat, graciously heaven sent.
Yes, at the end of a day laundry is essential and here to stay gather up those piles and enjoy the play!
