Another for Day 3
I Miss Them Too Much to Write Much About Them
But I’ll tell stories as appropriate
in conversation. The time
the answering machine recorded
grandma yelling “Hang up!” at grandpa.
The time we were baking for Christmas
and they demonstrated the polka
around the stove. What we’ll lack
in mythology, I can make up
in gingersnaps and punch lines.
Oh, this hits very close to home, Mandy. Very close.

Thanks for the comment. I am torn about the ending; I like "gingersnaps" but am not sure that "punch lines" is quite what I want...
