The year was '44
Victory gardens were the thing.
Mama planted scores and more,
Lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes,
Onions, radishes, carrots, scallions too.
Rhubard, melons, and a lot of corn.
Mama with her generous nature,
Fed not only our family well, but
Neighbors, friends and kin as well.

Cheers,
Dan
of doing the right thing in difficult times;
the spirit of giving, too, and sharing is here;
i wish we had more people today who would make the effort
to grow 'their own' (and for others).
Love this piece. Thank you.
