More of your girl's poetry, which you may or may or may not have seen before:
The Light Bringer
Because they don't want
To bother with the shades,
My children rather squint and grope about
In the darkened house
So every morning
I go to the windows
And raise the shades myself
So sunbeams can flood their rooms

Breathe Deep
We buy topsoil for the garden
We buy channels for TV
We by water by the carton--
Thank goodness air is free

Ah, Nature
When outside it's wintery
And inside, it's seventy
I'm still cold and shivery
When outside, it's summery
And inside its seventy
I'm sweating like a piggery

Cough, Snort, Sneeze
Her dreams are bad,
And when she wakes
Her throat is raw
Her left ear aches
Her mood is cranky
Her bread is soggy
Her body's hurting
Her movement's loggy
As you can guess,
Fio's sick
And she darn well better
Get well quick!
(Not every poet writes about mucus😁
