| CHILDHOOD I remember Taking hold of the BAT and s w I n g I n g as HARD as I could, Hitting the BALL with B o N e Sh Att eR InG FORCE. R u n n i n g to FIRST base, R u n n i n g to SECOND base, R u n n i n g to THIRD base, Rounding to HOME! s-s-s-s-l-l-l-l-i-i-i-i-d-d-d-d-i-i-i-i-n-n-n-n-g-g-g-g S-A-F-E-!-!-! I remember Eating the feast on Thanksgiving: TURKEY Mashed Potatoes ROLLS And my favorite . . . P-I-E-!-!-! All stuffed – Ready for S-E-C-O-N-D-S! I remember Singing at the Smokey Mountains’ choir concert days of Practice for HOURS on end and TODAY is the day of the show! As the curtains R—I—S—E I see t-h-o-u-s-a-n-d-s of people. We sing like ANGELS . . . E-N-C-O-R-E!!! |
| FALL The cooooool w—i—n—d BLOWING across my face Feels like a d-i-p in the pooooool. The chameleon leaves c-h-a-n-g-i-n-g COLOR, As a slight chiiiil sets innnnnnn. SUMMER The W-A-R-M sun, like a flaming GIANT! The butterflies f-l-u-t-t-e-r-i-n-g ABOVE the tuLIPS, Sucking up their s-w-e-e-e-e-e-t nectar. SENSES Spring . . . Smells green like Clover, Tastes sweet like Honey Dew, Sounds happy like Children Playing, Looks dazzling like Leprechaun’s Gold, and Feels warm like a Sunflower. |
