Tuesdays for catfish at the BBQ
To fill our bellies & catch up on news

Wednesdays the banks close at noon
To pick cotton in the lilly white fields

Thursdays the livestock auction
To replenish the farm & harbor menfolk

Fridays the juke joints will sell moonshine
A banjo is plunkin down the holler

Saturdays the melon is sliced at the lake
To feed the smiling children

Sundays the churches are bustling
To renew our faith and flaunt our millinery prowess

Mondays we start over again

The title drew me in with the catfish. LOL
That's some delicious eating.

Loved the whole poem, Tina.

There can be comfort and a sense of security in such simple familiarity.

... and so on, and so on...

I enjoyed this peek into your world.

Love & the Good Life,
