Sean and Bella

Sean and Bella
By Franklin Price
11/20/2015

Was  on eleven/twenty
When Sean and Bella came to town
Had traveled for six hundred miles
Since nineteen's sun had gone down

They rolled into the back yard
As the clock was striking five
Were  tired and quite bedraggled
But were very much alive

Was the first time that we'd seen them
As a husband and a wife
She is our daughter's oldest
He's the love within her life

Greetings and salutations
Hugs and kisses all around
The neighbor's dogs and chickens
Did not even make a sound

We all got in the kitchen
Where we bantered for awhile
Were so glad they made it 
Their coming surely made us smile

Could have  talked for hours 
But had to let them go to bed
Sleep was calling me also
Had to clear my clouded head

They all are now still sleeping
Won't be long before they rise
They have to leave in two short days
For now, they're our burgers and our fries
