Neighbors are meeting for barbecue.
Barbers are snipping like they used to do

...The 4 year olds were all invited
For a cup of tea,
Though whether they will drink it

No flowers, no candy, no calls on the phone.

A hungry mouth needs food.
A bottom needs a diaper change
Whenever it has pooed.
In winter, hands need mittens.

Perambulates the room
Imbues him with the power
Which he cannot quite assume.

As she clutches her rosary,
Her angels’ wings we adore…
