The valedictorian of Northfolk High
Today she turns ninety- six
She gets her hair done on Fridays
and flags the bus passing by
To Crumpler over narrow roads
the kind driver smiling as they go
miners blackened save the eyes
The only way we recognize
Which is Alfred and which is not
Each time they make a stop
Another parts to yellow homes
Soon all the miners are gone
The kindly driver parks at the stucco
two story and in the back they go
Miss Daisy the black cat greets daddy and
The valedictorian with the pretty bangs
Fridays I seem to think upon these themes.
