Wednesday was Washing Day.

Wednesday was Washing Day.

The day  Wednesday,

washing day

where all the inhabitants

of terraced houses

and low back fences

in orderly fashion

hung out their clothes, 

garments, and home apparels

to dry.

T'was only when

the final curtain washed, 

dried was pulled in

from the washing line

did one realise

who was the naturalist

naked.

The tan was a dead give away!
