one summer day, susan spent the five seconds
that she had free in her garden
carrying basil in her mouth to keep hands free:
margie chased a big blue plastic ball,
begging anyone to throw it across the yard again...
and again... and again...
...and played charades (this one was "kangaroo"):
susan picked the first two zucchinis of the season
as margie made sure they were ok to eat.
susan remarked, "wow i've gained a lot of weight!"
to which margie replied, "you ain't fat! you beautiful!"
then, susan went inside and modeled
some of late grandma patricia's jewelry
(and found out those 5 holes up one earlobe still can hold an earring!)
at last, they snuggled up on the bed
and had a good sleep
(while the mischievous man of the house
snapped photos and sat insomniatically awake all night).
...the end.
