After Reading "V. Conclusion"
By John Updike

I remember when I had
Pneumonia in Wyoming
And an ancient Rainbow Trout
Waited to be caught in a Pond
That was no bigger than a Frond!
I remember Wyoming---
And the white sand that was Gritty!
I remember Wyoming---
And the heat that was a Pity!
I remember Wyoming---
Sweet sodas flowed!
And warm winds lowed!
On the way to
Colorado!
Full of Sweet Bliss
And Bravado!
