Twenty Pints of Sunshine

Twenty Pints of Sunshine David J Walker It seemed to be the only thing In abundance on the farm The light and heat The shine so bright Long days short nights And work doled out in the mornings Today we will bottle in bell jars 20 pints of sunshine And call it canning A summer seasons planning Saved for the Short days The long nights Of freezing winter weather To be opened It says When sleet falls in December When the woods are wet and dreary When the farm is fallow When sunshine can only be found In pint-sized Bell Jar bottles
