NaPoWriMo Day 16: Grown-Up Chores

Remember back when grown-up chores were fun?
We washed the car by climbing on the top!
We hosed it (and each other) ‘til it shone
And Mom insisted it was time to stop.
Kitchen work was tasty, as a whole -
Need help to bake that cake, Mom? I’m your kid.
And whenever chance arose to lick the bowl
You bet your shiny Kitchen-Aid we did!
Even laundry was a kind of pleasure
When we put quarters into the machine -
Push them in - ka-chink - then at our leisure
Did bugger-all until the clothes were clean.
So, let’s return to how things used to be
And rescue grown-up chores from drudgery!
