OFF THE ROAD

Forever
Off the road
Clear of danger
Pollutions and
Honking horns.

But a farmer's daughter is she,
They have only a dusty path to follow
(Not many cars come this way).

They have only one truck,
Does her father,
To take the vegetables to market
Every Saturday.

She has a sturdy Palomino stallion,
His name is Greg.
And together, Greg and she,
Mostly at dusk,
Will travel together to the meadow
With the golden pond
And watch the fireflies.
