a short story / poem about my family:
one day in Kansas a woman went out side with a sweet potato and yelled
a poem about my folks, by Lena Marvin
” I WANT ONE, I WANT A PIG “
and she threw it on the ground and went back inside
the next day
a man came to the house and asked her out on a date
that man was the only man she’d ever known that wasn’t a pig
and that woman is my mom and that man is my dad
Thanks, it was great to remember this. And yes Bob is not a pig, nor is he particularly fond of sweet potatoes. It did increase my appreciate of sweet potatoes.
