Three Cat Tail Cacti
Growing in a bunch
I saw them
I photographed them
Then I went home for lunch
I gave names to the
Two sisters and a brother:
He is Big Finger
They are Red Paws
And The Other
Giving them a GoodFather page–
That was my only wish
But not until after
I ate some tuna fish.
Three cat tail cacti
Made me think of Giotto
Because nothing else
Rhymes with iPhoto
Into that folder
They went
Until this verse (from God-knows-where)
was sent.
