  • At Last

    at last the day done
    had a cow shut in
    the pig put in the pen
    in the rain
    the coop closed
    to the fox you can hear
    the icebox hum
    what is yours is asleep
    at last but not to dream
    must get up again

  • Kitchen

    At work in the kitchen
    on a new concoction
    elbows sharp and beans red
    green apron and blue jeans
    and barefoot of course
    happy is as close as does.

    Out of sugar but still
    things for better or for
    worse she intones and plays
    old radio oldies
    oh to be home where work
    and play equal parlay.

    A bit of this for spice
    a bit of that for crunch
    just a pinch of garlic
    an inch of perhaps the
    recipe calls for some
    extra special bitter.
