    A Teenager's Babushka
    winter solstice Ode for Janet

    Once again, it's that merry holiday season.
    For many, it's Good Will for all,
    mistletoe's cheerful anticipation,
    a rollicking Santa Claus, who's
    . . . mostly for kids.

    Looking way back, 'bout 70 years, to
    an exciting Lakewood winter; sledding
    down Harding's and Sharky's slopes,
    snow balls, snow men, snow forts,
    Christmas trees, and twinkling lights.

    NOW, what I remember, MOST CLEARLY:
    her navy peacoat; topped with a smile,
    rosy cheeks, sparkling eyes, framed by
    blond curls; all nicely wrapped within
    . . . a white babushka.
