Earth Day 2021
EARTH DAY 2021
Buy it a hat it’s going bald.
Today I bought DIRT….
top soil (allegedly)
sealed in plastic,
sold by the bag.
It claims to be infused
with microorganisms
and other good stuff.
Grandma Kelley used to tell us
“you’ll eat a peck of dirt before you die”
“go outside and play, get some good clean dirt on yourself”
We even made mud pies….
and tasted them.
CELEBRATE “EARTH” DAY
Take a walk….take a breath…
and thank “MOTHER EARTH”
for not taking us all out to the woodshed.
