Munday on Monday: Acorns

I thought some kids were throwing rocks

For all I’d heard, the pings and knocks —

And summoning my anger steady

I had for them a lecture ready.

But then I note some other proof

That as I drive, upon the roof

Metallic thud — the cause whereof

Is coming from direct above.

So as I sit, I stand corrected;

My anger has been misdirected.

We run the autumn gantlet, folks,

Each time we drive beneath these oaks.
