The trees split their sides
With laughter. They snicker
Because you didn’t get up
On time. Now get out there
And hoe the garden. And
Take a census of the fattest
Earthworms.

Fishing
When my father took my
Two sisters and me fishing
At the local lake, we spent
A lot of time watching the
Bobber on the end of our
Bamboo poles. They rarely
Moved. Our dad tried to
Cheer us up by saying we
Were drowning worms.
That made my youngest
Sister cry. Those were the
Good old days we look
Back on and laugh.
