Long Going bananas Poems

(or swing sets and monkey bars)

A pitch perfect spring day
such as today April 8th, 2022
within quaint hamlet 
of Schwenksville, Pennsylvania
in close proximity within mind's eye
to Lake Wobegon, Minnesota
finds me reminiscing...

I got myself a suntanna.
Down at the local beach.
While watching three Santas.
In the Christmas Parade.
It was a nice Sun-shiny day.
In Southern Cal.Near LA..
