Shopping on a November Night


Shopping on a November Night

Walking out of the shopping store
The Salvation Army man is putting
his bucket and bell away.
A train rolls through the night.
A jetliner inches its way across
the sky.
My wife and I are eating peppermint
chocolate.
I'm drinking a Coke-a-Cola.
Wednesday we'll go to the mountains
to buy apples if the weather permits.
Here pecans, just fall and fall,
papershells that make good gifts.
I'm hoping this winter for a Southern
snow.
