Dotting the white Rebels
                     A pinch of salt- Seasoned, for the brave
The five shades of vanilla


Mixed with balsamic vinegar
With peppers in the bottle
In the house surrounded by corn
And smells of oak,
                                           Missus Dash
                                                                    And Manure


The pomp and poetry of thoughtlessness
Flowers on a tabletop, names on a T-shirt
About children and trucks
And hearts and maintaining a standard
For your unused scholarships issued to clay
Formed to polished pots- bargain racks
Oh so cute!                                                   Needles and essential
Above the couch, funded through failure
