Sho Fly Don’t Bother Me

It’s a comfortable old Alabaster stoop

Where once spring breakers chose to rest

Their bodies stressed needing a boost

Sparking and larking an exhausting task

For young minds and their libidos

Late into the night Old men shared a pint or two

While discussing the weather on that old stoop

Mrs. Deers night time beau gave them a view

Of his ardent attempt to play slave to her

Strategically placed Wildwood blooms

Sunshine and Daisies greeted the milkman’s clinking tune announcing his arrival 2 quarts of cream topped milk, a dozen eggs the daily form for the houses lady Snow in Summer is favored 7 t0 5

Busy as Bees the neighboring children swarmed those stairs, their castle a king was crowned, a maiden captured bloody noses and wooden slivers were battle scars even white frocked lasses sported

Chickweed creeps in mass abundance now a rest stop for the fly in the field of flowers that bug on wildflower an early morning feast the stairs still the place to dine to sleep off a full stomach

They say the grass is greener On the other side of the fence. And never can you go home again but that comfortable old Alabaster stoop still brings my memories of home too life
