Won't tell you where I caught this. Suffice to say, I knew I'd do something with it.
All You Need
Your yard could use
a third plastic flamingo,
one more faux albatross
tight around your throat.
Extra pinwheels to mark
time staring out window.
Added tables, umbrellas
to block children's path.
Lawn gnome behind fence
getting ready to jump.
Snowmen, unicorns,
pro- baseball players,
other creatures of myth
you'd never ask inside.
A second season home
to hide from this one.
A driveway to lie on,
surprise family after work.
