My Mother was what’s called
A Cute Chick
little and headstrong
blonde and quirky
She lived alone on an island
and expected Her Guests
to be as charmed by Her Play House
as She was
even when They had to use
The 3-holer Privy
and brush Their Teeth
with one glass of water.
She never got old
struck down by a brain tumour
at age 57
and turned into A Chickadee
when She died.

Last Evening in The Sun
Eye visited Mrs. Atwood
and She had on
A Dress
of classic 30’s design:
Poka Dotted Black

below an elongated waist.
She looked demure
reclining in Her Rocker
eating a vaniĺla cream cookie
Carefully
while Her Little Glass of Pepsi
Popped Its Lit-up Fizz
Against Her Sun-filled Window.
