Today’s a day for lay-aways,
For storewide deals, no money down.
But unbecoming trade betrays
Our fallen’s day of earned renown.
Instead imagine what they’d want
To do one Monday late in spring.
Eat supper at their favorite haunt?
Go hear Sinatra, Snoop Dogg sing?
So call a restaurant, catch a show,
Enjoy a backyard barbecue.
But all alone, though, please forgo.
Do take a thought of them with you.
—Memorial Day 2012
