My Legacy

A needle , few threads

An old button criss-cross with grey

A pint of beer, heaps of hay.


Three geese, few swans,

a dozen chickens

A wood fire oven, Grandma's mitten.


An old pot with last nights stew

Seventeen silver spoons

Give or take a few.


Grandma's oval earrings

with a silver glow

Two hands on the clock

far too slow.


A pack of wet cigarettes, wait!

make it two

Sixteen friends and foe

can't say who is who


A year's worth of unpaid bills

and a piece of parchment with my will

Is

My

Legacy.
