?

Is Melba toast,

have you lost

your neighbor

yet, you know

the lusty waif

next door who

moaned scary

and turned poor

Ray half crazy,

as you elbow

and grin big

on your way

home to the

green hilltop

street of the

most spacious

song ('El Canto')

where there's

more room,

more beauty

for lazing

and loving

on longer

afternoons

and what's best,

lots of ground

to plant a tree

or three down

deep into ?
