Washing Machine

It’s filling up drinking the water
Oh no it’s taken my quarter
It’s slurping and it’s burping
Spitting water everywhere
It’s sploshing and it’s splashing
Flicking bubbles in mid air
It’s tumbling and it’s turning
Oh no it’s now burning
As it shouts the water comes out
Pushing water out the spout
Out the spout the grass is greener
And everything is now cleaner
When it gets hungry it eats my socks
Then we have to look at all the spots
And when the machine plays up
Mum says it’s corrupt
