Breakfast.

(this morning

i had a banana,
two apples,
and a spoonful of
damson plum jam;

was a good start for a hot day.)

This Is Just To Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

- William Carlos Williams

Sure does feel like Summertime right now. (whew)

Summertime

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you

-George Gershwin



Gosh, I love Mike Brant's version. (sigh)
