All Those Good Ones That Got Away

Who else tapped these trees?

I’ll never know, except it was about 60 years ago.🍁

Hanging buckets in the snow

storm has passed and dusk is aglow. 🍁

My mind is still a swirl from Town Meeting.

I focus on sugar on snow because it’s good eating. 🍁

The three of us march from tree to tree hoping for a future which may never be.🍁

Fees and taxes keep going up. Neighbors don’t even like our big truck. 🍁

Be careful of throwing traditions away.

Once they’re gone though you’ll hear one of those folks say:

Give me a grant to study why all those good ones got away. 🍁
