Himmy went to market, Slipped out through his door, Did all of his trading At the General Store. Then he did some calling, Got himself a drink, Turning on the faucet At Aunt Clara's sink. Broke an empty bottle On the cement floor, Flung the broom and mop-stick Outside her back door. Picked himself some berries Back within the wood, Then went home with Georgie For his breakfast food. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PRINCESS WAKES IN THE WOOD by RANDALL JARRELL CHAMBER MUSIC: 20 by JAMES JOYCE ADVICE TO A FOREST by MAXWELL BODENHEIM A SOUTH CAROLINA FOREST by AMY LOWELL JOY IN THE WOODS by CLAUDE MCKAY IN BLACKWATER WOODS by MARY OLIVER THE PLACE I WANT TO GET BACK TO by MARY OLIVER A CHRISTMAS CAROL AND ANTHEM by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS |
