Oh At Our House Poem by Dorothy (Alves) Holmes

Oh At Our House



Mama's in the kitchen
Frying chicken, golden brown,
Smothering cabbage,
just rushing around.
Cutting out home-made biscuits,
With a jelly jar,
Telling us kids,
Not to go too far.
Oven's breathing fire, for
Candied yams,
oozing in cinnamon and butter, and
until I eat,
Not another word will I utter!

You're killing me here! You made me so hungry, I have to turn off my mouse and go find a snack!
