Let me manage something simple:
A piece of toast.
A cup of tea.
Let me manage something simple:
Reseeded morning glories
Along the fence.
Let me manage something simple:
Put a stamp on the envelope.
Open the mailbox.
Let me manage something simple:
Clean his empty coffee cup.
Fold his handkerchief.
Let me manage something simple:
Turn off the lights.
Lock the door.
Let me manage something simple:
Plant the garlic.
Wait for winter.
(With thanks to the poet Molly Peacock who used this opening phrase in a different way.)
