Anne Brown
we ate pot roast

and mashed potatoes
she is rarely happy with

today they were too watery
and might use some salt

the green beans tasted
like the can
but i ate the last of them

and david asked which
shaker was the salt
and i handed him the pepper
so we traded potatoes

she asked what is the matter

james wants more eclairs
but he ate them all
but they are not hard to make

she volunteered me
to not say no
