CELEBRATING GREAT AUNTS
(For Aunt Glenda: 1912-2005)
There’s no clear answer
to this crisis
we affectionately call life.
(Sounds like a picnic.)
So, if you ask,
and you obviously did not,
I’d say that family outings
are always warranted
along life’s troubled journey
as long as pies
are plentiful
with lemon meringue
swirling the crust
crimped by a Great Aunt,
an Aunt who inspires
50 years of fond memories.
Never mind the coleslaw
that consists of cabbage
and carrots cultivated
from a private garden
tilled and composted organically;
it’s all in the pies!
