Memorial Day
We go out and play.
Lakes barely unfroze;
We dip in our toes.
But
Won't leave us in peace.
We visit the grave
Of someone quite brave.
We leave a bouquet
But long do not stay;
The kids always bawl:
"Let's go to the mall!"
A picnic we shirk;
The garden needs work.
And gas is so high
You might as well fly.
We mostly stay home,
Drink something with foam.
The day's biggest thrill –
Try out the new grill.
The price of good steak
Means chicken we'll bake.
The relatives come,
Lick up the last crumb
And when they depart . . .
The rain has to start.
