She pulled an old washtub
into the back yard.
Filled it with water.
Dressed me in a swimsuit.
Set me in the shade
Hot August day.
No swimming pool.
No A.C.
Too hot to nap.
Too hot to play.
But Mom made do.
She pulled an old washtub
into the back yard.
Oh! Love this.
Simple but transportive.
Maybe we will all be typing from a washtub by mid afternoon today!
