Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

With an old newspaper
for a plate and
water from the hose
for dressing

Four junior chefs,
three to ten,
yanked and threshed a yard salad
from the rain drenched
and shower fed
field beside our in-town home

Clover, dandelion, plantain
and grasses of varying length,
with dirt included bodily,
heaped on the makeshift platter,
stirred with pine and oak,
until they were ready
for the presentation
