Anacreontic verse

A Day

Cars zip by

Hurrying on

Wherever

Trees in full dress

Birds nesting

Sun beating down

Weeds growing high

Yard’s a mess

Worked today

Achy muscles

Now relaxing

Soft music lilts

Family

One in bed

One watches TV

One plays solitaire

Lights are dim

Paperwork

So behind

Play catch up

Go to bed

Rascal cricket

Sings indoors
