The Leaf-Paved Path
Toddlers played in dry sand
Hot sun made each cheek red
Ellen was their likable friend
Long before winter came
Enjoyed evenings with them
Always refusing to rest
Fireflies were a child's game
Puppies chased them with haste
Aunt Lily was often bitten by bugs smelling perfume
Vera told her not to scratch
Eddy laughed hard as Mitch
Daniel loved to startle the busy bees
People stopped to watch the comedy of pet peeves
Across the leaf-paved path of ripe strawberries
Torrents washed away all the pretty greens
Hurricane Isaac made them flee quicker than thieves
