1982 To Jean - Poem - March 31

The P.W., assuming she is the same as "Guess Who," must have been in a poetic frame of mind in late March 1982, or perhaps she was always that way. This one to Jean, brought back memories of the hours spent at the clothes line as well as mowing the grass.

Poem to Jean 31-March-1982

TO JEAN


Spring has sprung!
      No time for ease,
Jean's wash is swinging in the breeze!


Soon time to mow,
     And then to hoe,
I think I'll hide and just lay low –
          'til Winter.


March 31, 1982
Guess Who???
