Getting to know you
April 29, 2010
By Rose Marie Rideout

I stand in the line up,
As I notice the gentleman in front of me,
He's a married man,
His ring is plain to see.

He must be a new Daddy,
For I see the Baby food in his cart,
Looking at his items that he's buying
Would indeed be a great start.

He has some toddler treats,
I guess he has another,
With that little bat and ball,
I'm guessing it's a brother.

Lawn seed sits below his cart,
So I know he lives in a house,
Oh,Oh there's a few traps,
Looks like he may have a friendly mouse.

His hands seem to be rough and dry,
Cracked from his hard day,
I think he works long hours,
To bring home a decent pay.

He looks about thirty years old,
Just starting off in life,
and she's home with the new baby,
As he runs arrands for his wife.

There sits a hardhat,
Tucked underneith his arm,,
So my guess is he's in construction,
With the feed,he probably lives on a farm.

He was just a stranger,
A few moments ago you see,
But standing here with an interest,
He's become very familiar to me.
