Don’t have a thing on you
No sirree Mingy
Not in that narrow little spot
Between the cherry tree
And the Sach’s domain
Nor the little sparrow that
Flits just behind the crow
It’s Memorial Day weekend and
Already the potatoes need hoeing
Up and down the creek
Summer has just begun
A south-easterly breeze
Heralds the warming trend
Which to your grave
Shall bring a profusion of zinnias
And anemones
My dear friend
In memory
Of your sapient spirit
And distinctive
Dignified being
