I Hate to Wash My Clothes

I hate to wash my clothes,

I dump them on the floor,

and when all my clothes are dirty

I put them on once more.

I pick them up and sniff them,

I give them a good smell,

and if I don’t fall over

I know no one can tell.

My clothes are filthy dirty,

they’ve not been washed in weeks.

They won’t go in the laundry

until my bedroom reeks.

I’ve better things to do

than waste my precious time,

doing things I need not do

like cleaning sweat and grime.

I hate to wash my clothes,

it’s always such a chore

to clean and dry and fold them

and put them in the drawer.

I’m allergic to detergents,

they always make me sneeze.

I can’t go near the washer

in case I start to wheeze.

I’m helping the environment

as everybody should.

I’m saving soap and water,

it’s doing lots of good.

I’ll say it again

until everybody knows,

“I won’t go near the laundry

and I hate to wash my clothes!”
