MUSINGS ON WALLY'S POND

 It is not given
             that everyman
        Who ever lived
             could have 
         HIS OWN POND
              a nice one
         Like this one

         Think of all the fun
               every day---
          You have
                Your own
           Resort

          Just look at the woods
                there, all around
           Hickory, ash, sycamores,
                 Pecan, walnut, oak...

            Exercise counted by 
                 "laps around the pond!"
            And a little dock for diving
                   and launching canoes

            Here along the shore
                 the willows and cattails
             and the lily pads flourish
                  adding oxygen to the 
             clear cool water
                   where the bass play
             and jump for flies...

             See the exquisite green hues
                   that only a Master Painter
              could create...

              Here, where the catfish nap
                   on hot afternoons
              under the cattails---
                    a good place to drag out
               the rickety old lawn chair
                     from the bushes
                and set a spell, and ponder,
                      and enjoy...
                and be grateful

                Yes, if only every man 
                      could have
                 a pond
