“Splitting Peas”

 
“Splitting Peas”
 
cji
12/23/12
 
Long ago and somewhere else
people had better things to do
idle time not available to rumor
and murmuring never allowed
timber to split cut for firewood
gardens to plant and harvest
working on the roof and floor
babies to tend for and others
then by the firelight at night
gathering around to hear talk
of splitting peas and planting
fearful of storms and winds
and such things all about!
