(With apologies to Emily Dickinson...)I met this fellow in the grass
Of course we stopped to chat.
His green form against the earth
Was A Study in Contrasts.
"Can I put you on my blog?" I asked,
And awaited his reply.
Upon a Ledge, he hopped and said
You mean In The Garden...Online?
"I never saw a blog," he said,
"I never saw a screen,
But on the Shores of Lake Chicag'
I know they dream May Dreams."
So in your Skinny Garden,
My Sweet Home I will make
If you vow to rhyme no more,
My picture you may take.
So I moved Close Up , got the shot
And placed it on my blog
With photos of Greensboro Birds
And set the literary world agog.
The critics can't stop talking about David's newest collection of garden poetry...Hear what the literati are saying!
...Exactly how long did you spend writing this?
...You aren't writing that on the office computer, are you?
...Can I pay you not to mention my blog in your poetry?
...We spent how much on tuition for that kid?
...Do you need something to do?
....Well, "Unique" is one way to describe it.
