Of all the front yards
in all the world,
these mushrooms picked mine
to show up in.
They were tiny.
Their canopies no larger than a dime.
Nestled as they were
among the pine needles,
the eucalyptus leaves,
and the mulch,
they were real
attention-getters,
practically screaming out
in their squeaky imaginary voices,
"Me! Me! Take my picture!"
So, you see,
I couldn't help it.
The voices told me to do it.
