LAUGHTER IN THE HALLWAY
–
A gaggle of girls giggling
About the neighborhood’s changer,
Speculation about who
Might come in the re-arrange…
Another joins the laughter
Hailed while coming downstairs,
Women at play don’t display
Any over-the-nose airs.
–
A man walking by is waved to
And greeted to most as a friend,
This neighbor walks by the hew and cry–
On a joyous, happy weekend…
The women still going at it–
Not a cackle or snort in the group,
Just having fun as days run
Getting the latest scoop!
