A Short Nap

The Mocking Bird crooned
His melody of love all night
Whip-Poor-Will answered
"After Tonight" in loving delight

Finally she_ Mocking Bird
Answered, shhh! be quiet
I already "Heard It Through The Grapevine"
Cheating is your game

Around four a.m. I got a short nap

What a sweet story told in verse, Sara! Guess those birds can keep you up all night. Love the way your bird "Heart It Through the Grapevine"! You're writing some great poetry, dear. Tomorrow night I leave for a fishing vacation and will be away for a week. Have a great time while I'm away. Love, Carolyn
