As if by magic
the symphony began
cheers from nature
as I laid out the afghan
The ants were booed
as they entered the stage
taking morsels of food
filling me with rage
Shaking out the afghan
then laying it down again
spraying ant deterrent around it
not caring if it was a sin
Applause came
as I sat down the main dish
a beautifully grilled brisket
it was my husband’s wish
Accompanied by side dishes
baked beans and potato salad
wine to drink
husband playing a ballad
Sweet summer
aromas flying through the wind
living in a loving moment
praying it will never end
