Porch time passions in recovery.

dougb.72752 1951 (London)

Free verse
I am out on the porch
Fresh breezes for one
Convalescent.
Think it's a PD day.
No school bus
Neither giggling kids
With lunch packs.


Playing with my Concertina
Hohner brand
Recent musical challenge
Along with various harmonicas.
If I pump and tickle
This squeeze box
I make headway.
And Old Matt
My jamming buddy
Pushes me forward.
96 years old.
Loves his Button Accordion.
Provides solid backing
For the others on their harps.

Oh have 40 minutes passed already?
