These Things Poem by Juan Olivarez

These Things



These things make me cringe
Bared teeth on dogs
The mud round those hogs
And tobacco stains on beards.

These things make me smile
A day that is long
Old Italian songs
And mini-skirts

These things make me cry
A child that is sad
Food when it's bad
And funerals.

These things make me laugh
The old Tonight Show
Larry, Curly, and Moe
And Red Skelton.
