Windowsill

It’s nice to have a windowsill,
A place to perch your plants
Or your solar flower so the sun
Can start it on its dance.

Tomatoes in a bowl will ripen,
Warming to the rays
And a pretty vase will brighten
Even all the gloomy days.

You can prop a picture if your sill
Is wide enough for staging
Or place knickknacks you’ve collected
Which are fun for rearranging.

If your window is deficient
Or a sill is not a must,
Just take comfort in the fact that you
Have one less place to dust!
