Poem
A BUNCH OF CHERRIES
go to work
slog all day
with little pay
ride home in
smoking car
and rusting
doors leak on
rainy day bash
head on hanging
hood but when
home pretty
wife wipes per-
spiration from
forehead kisses
on cheek and
meal under
nose makes
work worth it
watch the box
with arms en
twined life
sweet as a
bunch of cherries...
