Sitting in a humid May
The day is nearly halfway
Through girl giggles as they
Leap through water sprinkles
I ponder the skies turning darker
Alerted to noises of chicken wander
Many dig, dig and chatter away as the
Cool breeze rustles leaves inches above
Their heads bobbing around, up and down
Suddenly our dog’s bark elicits cluck, clucks
Hardtack Rat
