Sentimental Moment Or Why Did The Baguette Cross The Road? Poem by Robert Hershon

Sentimental Moment Or Why Did The Baguette Cross The Road?

Rating: 3.1


Don't fill up on bread
I say absent-mindedly
The servings here are huge

My son, whose hair may be
receding a bit, says
Did you really just
say that to me?

What he doesn't know
is that when we're walking
together, when we get
to the curb
I sometimes start to reach
for his hand

The poem is lovely. The computerized voice should be removed.
