Dinner before Dessert - Oct. 27, 2023

have kids when you’re young

dogs when you’re older

enjoy your meat and potatoes

with a few forced vegetables

and take a break

then fork an apple pie

warmed and topped

with ice cream

roll your eyes

sit back

and put your hand

on a belly

or two

at different ages

there is different love

to pass around
