NaPoWriMo 2018-15 -- Day 15, a Poem, feed your dog

 

My day is done;
  if you love a dog then feed it 

 

My day is finished my work is done

I will rest my bod I'm going home  

 

You can't leave work remains to be done

Flowers to pick and some seeds to sow

Potatoes to plant and weeds to hoe 

 

I'll leave the garden for someone else 

Here's my truck the kids can load it up  

Heavy groceries for the many mouths

You do that so well the neighbors wait

Food from the food bank don't let it waste

 

I've done that for years it's your turn now  

I'm tired so weary home I must go

 - Gillena suggested the we read three of Villon's works and write our thoughts (inspiration) that might come from our reading. (François Villon, Google links)
 - I liked the legend by Falstaff (my PrintScreen Photo above) at the beginning of his Ballad, Fat Madge and from the first line, third stanza, of his Ballad, The Proverbs ("... So, you love a dog. Then feed it!").
