a simple time
a place of joy
a second home
immersed in love
roses bloomed
squirrels to feed
beans and mets
and coconut cake
a cheerful voice
a checkered dress
trips downtown
adventure bus
welk and friends
melvin's mock
gramps amidst
his tools and trains
even now
decades hence
I still can hear
her playful game
eenie meenie
minee moe
catch a nigger
by his toe
