Haystacks Haystacks, hardly stately Stand like statues None-the-less And though they’re slightly slumped They’re pardoned For the mess Grain grown with dreams of bread The Staff assigned to motherhood Now known it seems instead The chaff consigned To fodderhood |

This poem was in response to a friend who indicated that she likeked "a play on words". I sat down at my desk and The word Haystacks popped into my mind. My Muse dictated this and I swear that I didn't know what play on words was coming until the last word. To my disappointment my friend didn't get it since she never heard of chaff, nor fodder, nor the saying "bread is the Staff of life" so I had to explain it all. Fodderhood is a made up word of course. I grew up in a rural area and took it for granted that everyone knew what fodder was but I realized then that some words have a regional recognition. Thanks for the responses Joe |
