Poppy

A pocket full of toonies you got from the bank when you heard we were coming,
Happiest mowing the lawn, twice over,
Sweet smells of gasoline from the back shed,
We snack on the secret raspberry bush behind it,
You start up the BBQ, frying burgers with the Jays game playing in the background,
Everybody’s favourite conductor,
People fill the backyard to enjoy your company,
You like to play silly tricks on us kids,
Smiling at your family before you
