poem 4

things are things
birds have wings
bees have stings
the upstairs maid sings

trees grow tall
but eventually fall
a boy throws a ball
against a wall

madam calls
the maid runs down the hall
she gives it her all
but her reward is small

master in his study
is home to nobody
his complexion is ruddy
the gardener’s boots are muddy


next poem
