BONGO

Let’s WASTE the day 
We COULD play HOOKY
Goof off together and 
find words that rhyme 
with MORON, like boron
Or maybe you play one BONGO
and I’ll play the other?

Georg’ann

Stretch of RAINY days,
lullabies descending from clouds
tucking baby plants ever more
securely into garden beds. 
MELON arrived at the store.
Joins asparagus and strawberry.
BONUS of global fruit markets-
seasons blend into one another. 
Flavors lack essence, too far 
from home, fed industrial water. 
No steady rhythm of warm rain
keeping beat like a BONGO drummer.
