Salad Days
Many can recall and recollect
the halcyon moments of carefree abandon
When juvenile limbs climbed upon cedar limbs
or squatted under oak or baobab shades
while languishing in youthful salad days
As they chased butterflies or katydids
Yet ironically in their prime
most disdained the veggie salads.
No bothering much where and how
the shillings and earnings came from
Home made cakes and pies gobbled in for granted delight
Engrossed in exploring the wide old world with youthful eyes.
