Some Days

Some days need more hours.
Some meals need more wine.
Gardens need more flowers
If their bulbs are in decline.

Some walls need more hangings.
Some food needs more spice.
Banjos need more twangings
So their music will entice.

Some homes need less clutter.
Some rooms need more light.
Bread may need more butter
So the taste will be just right.

Some jokes need more laughter.
Some ‘hoods need less crime.
Since it’s time I’m after,
Hereby ends this rhyme.
