Cornfields Have Ears

Mother warned Never make love in a cornfield For the corn-- has ears And they just may tell... Upon hearing this I laughed and replied mom They might have ears But they do not have lips With which to speak... Not so fast, Careful daughter said she with a smile They have husks that are tough And when shucked the silk and shucks will make you tell Yeah, I've ran through the fields Playing hide and seek The itch form those husks -- Sure did make me shriek... Ahh… Shucks... I guess you're right Mama You don't have to worry about me With great bliss--I promise you this... I'll never make love in a cornfield. Comments: The lesson was corny but true to form as I will never make love nor hide in a field of corn -- ears and all 0;-)

Dear Adell, this is too precious. A heartfelt memory written with such love. Thank you for your comment on "Regret". Just so you know my loss was not very recent, but that poem has been wanting to come out for some time now. I so appreciate your words of comfort. Many blessings to you and yours. Love, Shar
