Always A Drought
Poems My Grandmother Taught Me
The Black Eye
They look at you and try
To hold their laughter in,
And say “What a humdinger fight
That must’ve been!”
Shall I tell them the truth,
That you were hit by a swing?
Or just smile and go on
And ignore the whole thing?
I have to admit
It’s a shiner alright.
It looks like you really
Were in a big fight.
Perhaps it is best
To smile and go on,
I’m supposed to explain
Who lost and who won!
I don’t for a minute,
Believe that they buy
The truth when I tell them
How you got that black eye!
~Dana B. Nelson
