Tiger Lily Airplane Food If You Please
Tiger Lily airplane food if you please, grandma, if you please.
He is four and enthusiastic. Words happy as a summer breeze.
He leaves to chase butterflies, then I see him trying to catch bumblebees.
Tiger Lily airplane food is ready, I call out to him. It is peas!
Not yet, he tells me. I have found a little green blue toad to tease.
I let him play a bit longer, as I garden on my ancient knees.
Collecting radishes, beets, and green beans in threes,
Which I will of course winter freeze.
