Choke Cherry Blues And News

for Laura Ingalls Wilder Just Because.l..

as I was choking on choke cherry pie

I spied a cherub chiming by
you've butter to churn don't ask me why

charmingly she said.

but I had much more pie to go
and then I had to shovel snow

chosen for that task, alas.

I ate my choke cherry pie too fast
for I had chores.and needed the cash.

Kaching hatchoo and all of that.

here's what we learned today in class.
gathering choke cherries

in the past

'twere hard to cherish
while chewing fast.
