geraniums


by bofa xesjum





geraniums grow in the garden
but tomorrow it will be too late

young people these days have no respect
because kindness must be purchased online at great cost

i am so happy for you, his mother told him
even in this shattered world love can be found

unless something totally unexpected happens
please leave, and take your most precious possession with you

i knew i should have painted the barn
but jenny and the kids just seemed so happy to see the cows

the opposing sides gave no quarter
and threw each other lousy dimes at intermission

everything will come out right in the end
if we just keep rearranging the furniture

geraniums! gerniums!
no more lemonade, just geraniums!

it began to rain
and walter returned his shovel to the old toolshed with the broken lock
