Father was a snap bean, <br />that's all, Sis, <br />nothing more. <br />Fresh, tinned or frozen, <br />the greens of snap beans vary. <br /> <br />Neighbors in the yard, <br />clerks at the store, <br />folks at church, <br />you and me and bawling Ma, <br />for years we fed his strange chameleons <br /> <br />so we can swear, on the Bible, <br />Father was a snap bean, <br />that's all, Sis. <br />Nothing more. <br />Fresh, tinned or frozen.<br /><br />Donal Mahoney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fresh-tinned-or-frozen/
