Analysis of Stoop Labor
I am picking peas but with care.
I found some mashed upon his chair.
There are the peas I thought he ate:
A string of beads beneath his plate!
Wait! There's more
Puckered peas upon the floor
A trail unique
Rolls over the tiles
To the boy I seek
Shaking peas
Out of his pants
Out of his sleeves
Swearing his dog to secrecy
