Sunday Afternoon

Soothing sounds of a Sunday afternoon Low roar of the crowd, touchdown soon Delighted children giggling uncontrollably The family relaxing so comfortably Morning paper around us suitably strewn Written November 7, 2021 HONORABLE MENTION "What Do You Do on Sunday" poetry contest All Poetry, December 3, 2021

This is the Sunday afternoon I did not have until I grew up but I enjoyed it when I got to it.

Oh, I didn't either until I grew up. It was worth the wait, however.

The sound of the bat hitting the ball when watching a cricket match, while having a picnic..... contentment.

Great snapshot of so many Sunday afternoons, Milt. As comfortable as a nap in a hammock. Bzzzz, Gershon
