Here’s my attempt at a Whosoever Blank Poem:
“whosoever thinks camping in their yard is a good idea”
should remember that the kids will want to run in
and out of the house until the porch lights go out
should remember that the ground is as hard in
one part of georgia as another & there's no doubt
a reason why people have evolved to sleep in
houses but the kids will have fun inside & out
