(with apologies to William Carlos Williams)
.
This is just to say
I have eaten
The last
of the tortilla chips
I know you
Were saving them
For a bedtime snack
But like you
they were salty
And so delicious.
How could I resist?

Seriously
Mr. Williams,
What is so important
about that
red
wheelbarrow?
Does cleaning out
the chicken coop
really warrant
such angst?
.

With vague apologies to William Carlos Williams (what was your mother thinking?) and his apparently crucial wheelbarrow.
