Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Some Day You'Ll Thank Me For This

Come in
         Take off your shoes
         Wash your hands
       Change the kitty litter
       and the water in the fish bowl
         Feed the fish, will you
         and the cats too
       Wash your hands, and
       Come to the table
         Say your blessings...
         Eat your vegetables
         Clean your plate
       No dessert, 'til your plate's clean
         Grace after meals
         Clear the table
         Wash the dishes
         Dry 'em too
       Take out the garbage
         Go do your homework

Gershon Wolf August 22, 2023 at 7:21 PM Aw, I knew my mom was sandbagging a book. I'll just send it to Poetry Soup's main garage. You can ask them to forklift it over to you.
