Rachel really likes the poetry of William Carlos Williams. Actually, all the kids enjoyed his poem “This is Just to Say.”
But Rachel enjoyed it so much that she immediately responded by writing her own poem.
For years, the girls have loved Saturday mornings when Sid is home and drinking his coffee. Sidling up to Daddy to steal swigs of his coffee became an early ritual, from the time they were toddlers.
She finished with her signature stick flamingo after her name.
Prairie Sings 
I like your poem Rachel. It made me smile.
This is just a heads up
I have taken
the leftover stromboli
for lunch
which you never mind
but I didn’t even ask,
and
I don’t want this
to be the kind of thing
that drives you
crazy
for years until you snap.
It was good
though I picked out
the jalapenos.
