IRONING DAY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I don't see why the grown-ups care
Last Line: To wash and iron every day.
Subject(s): Children; Cleanliness; Dolls; Girls; Play; Toys; Childhood


I don't see why the grown-ups care
Each time they find a rip or tear,
And seem to feel so badly, just
Because my clothes get soiled and mussed.

My children keep too clean and neat,—
And dirty dollies are a treat.
I find it quite the nicest play
To wash and iron every day.
