Buck

 

Sugar is on

And young Buck

Ecstatically

Wants the Bush

As we collect.

Six years old

And ingrained in

Ways of the Quiet People

Waterloo County.

The pace

The peace

The prayers 

The purpose

The plentiful.

Today will be good.

Out comes our

Collecting Wagon

With vats.

Buck jumps and yips

His delight.
