The life is tough, the work is hard, the shepherd
runs
the border dog too soon to death.
But where the old one falls there is
another birth
—a stable dog that never sees the hearth.
The pease pudding, the camembert and crackers,
the ivy
league shelf of books, the look
of present, future and past perfect books, a
crook
is just the tool that catches up the little lamb.
(How sad to think
they're destined for the packers)
Life proceeds in measured steps, the fish paste, the mutton
stew,
crimson preserve, the venison, beef, and strawberry jam.
There is a
place for grandfather, granma, baby, me and you.
Wanting party favors, the
little one is entertained by moon and star.
The tractor stands in place of
car.
