Retribution
Retribution
by Bobbie Troy
i shall take my retribution
in this life, on this earth
if you please
served with lemonade
in the shade of an old oak tree
then I will be free
– refers from the word “retribution” in the poem Red, White, and Blue by Annmarie Lockhart

Quite, quite lovely, Bobbie. The “if you please” adds the perfect whimsical note.
