Say Hello


Shoes in the morning, hat, bandana at noon.
Sandals in the evening. No wheels allowed.
A bicycle, a garden cart can stay.

No wings but bird wings. Dragonflies, of course;
butterflies, moths. No newspaper thud.

Books of stories, ok. A journal with tea.
No TV. TV sucks your brains out.
No stupid internet. Music? Melody.
Food? Oranges. Drink? Water.

No stressed friend, quarrelsome love,
no needy nerd. Power off the phone.
Arrange the lawn chair. Say hello to you.
