an afternoon rain leaves the
grass too wet to mow... so,
lawn mowers stay in their
cages and their keepers see
the chance to put off work
until tomorrow... mothers
tell their children not to pay
attention to the postponement
asking them to help her make
oatmeal cookies instead... we
understand what the lady of
the house is doing but play
along with her all the same...
blue sky is the password that
lets us know all is well and
we are in the clear to play as
she is busy talking to a neighbor
who has nothing better to do
with her day... summertime
is the season that fits the weather
except when a storm rolls in
from the west and because it
left Canada a day or two before,
we are looking for a delay of play
as if we were a major leaguer...
when all we are is a few kids trying
to have a little fun each summer.
