It seems the squirrels

are feeling the heat so they

 lay down to rest and eat.

Disturbed by such a show of sloth,

crows protest, clamor and caw,

but woodpeckers simply call it a draw.

John Lewis – a man of

conscience, conviction, and courage.

May we carry his legacy forward and vote

to “redeem the soul of America”.

For twelve years

we walked these country roads together

where I was known as Toby’s mom.

I say summer heat keeps me from walking now,

but even I am unconvinced.
