WINTER 042011 - SOMEWHERE

James Michael Taylor

First there was Spring Time. Then there was Summer.
Then there was Autumn.

And then there was Winter. Her daddy mowed lawns
She was a smart little doll
River loved Winter. His dad was a singer
But River’s mom did it all.

She could pull out an alternator
She could massage your back
She could put a new sink in the bathroom
She could fix your mower
She could model a dress
She could turn your oak tree into fire wood

Her name was Winter. Her daddy mowed lawns
She was a smart little doll
River loved Winter. His dad was a singer
But River’s mom did it all.

She could fix your computer
She could balance your checks
She could even make sense out of the tax code
She could write you a song
She could sew you a shirt
She could spiff up your kitchen with new wall paper

But Winter knew what Winter couldn’t do
Winter couldn’t compete with River’s mother
Her name was Winter and Winter moved on
She was a smart little doll
River is lonely. His dad is a stage hand
But River’s mom does it all.
