You see Daddy is busy, Mary. Now be a good girl and go clean all these “tomato sauce” stains in the bathroom. Oh… and don’t forget to tell all the neighbors about this unexpected trip your mother had to take, ok?
Some day she will write in a novel/ of the childhood she spent in a hovel/ and of her disapproval/ of Father’s removal/ of Mother – by means of a shovel.
The look on his face reminds me of the time my uncle uncovered a yellow-jacket’s nest in the ground, while he was clearing the ground for our above-ground swimming pool.
Observing this gentleman’s toil/ can you wonder that people recoil/ from this kind of labor/(and this kind of neighbor !)/ and to living close to the soil?
