The Peas and Me My father called me Girlie. It was his favorite name. No one else has called me that And it wouldn't be the same. He always had a garden That was wonderful to see. I enjoyed the section he Had devoted to the pea! I liked to go and lie there By tall, green rows and dream. If I ate a pea or two, It was all part of my scheme. The empty pods I left and there Were usually quite a few. When my father went to pick, Of course, at once, he knew! He told me not to eat them And I did try to obey, But when I'd pass that pea patch, They just called to me to stay. He'd come out on the porch and yell And his voice was filled with pain: "Girlie, are you out there In that pea patch, once again?" Of course, I never answered And he never came to see, But we both knew I was guilty. Just as guilty as could be! Betty Lou Hebert [This message has been edited by Trillium (07-28-2002 12:53 AM).] |

Peter rabbit had nothing on you...  This is delightful.the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

pegasus111: Thanks so much for commenting. I have this lovely memory of my Dad and how he wanted me to stay out of his garden, but yet he never enforced his rules, because he knew how much I enjoyed it. Betty Lou Hebert |
