The Wendy Waltz
(apologies to Roethke)
Cookies baked by a young wife,
Would make the twins dizzy,
Four children dance with life,
The Wendy Waltz is easy!
You dance around the pans,
Clean on the kitchen shelf,
Daddyo’s countenance,
A smile to himself!
The hand to hold the ring,
Newly weighted on one knuckle,
‘The date?’ did you sing,
Where others might have buckled!
You keep time in our head,
With a palm caked of flour
60 years, waltzed and led,
Congrats on this fine hour!
