7 Salmon Pea Wiggle

Jersey girl from a foreign land

Marries man from another time

 

A mere three years apart

Yet a cultural century separates

 

My mother went to college

His rode her horse to school

 

Days when English fails

What are you talking about?

 

Uptown parents catered

The rich and famous

 

Local boy’s father

Worked at the brick factory

 

Frustration could yield hard words

Acceptance came slow

 

Times all we could do was laugh

Say Salmon Pea Wiggle without

 

Smiling
