Where I'm From

This poem is Evan's Mother's Day gift to me.  He said I could share it with you.

Where I'm From

by Andrew Evan Crutchfield

I am from Juicy Fruit gum

From Lenny Kravitz's Fly Away

I am from ankle bracelets

Like snakes around skinny ankles

From "stop playing or the router will

Accidentally break!"

I'm from Blokus being blocked at every corner

and Andrew is troublesome

From Bob and Cheryl

And Snickers, brownies, and Reeses

I am from vegetables in soft soil

And books on the climbing shelves

I am from cookies that are shaped like brownies

From a family of fighting

We bicker and argue

I'm from a family

Not perfect, but made for each other.
