Snow's Writing for 2019, 2020, & Beyond

Week 40 Form: Tailgaters - Food and Shelter

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
Where I can get free coffee and beef tea.

O, to have a little house!
To live rent free without a spouse.

Between my finger and my thumb,
I can hold a candied natal plum.
