    Costal Farmlet by David Ray

    “A man wants nothing so badly as a gooseberry farm.”
    —Chekhov

    I want a costal farmlet.
    I desire it very much.
    I saw it advertised
    in the classifieds and I presume
    that coastal means our land
    comes right down
    to the sea with the whitecaps
    lashing romantically, and farmlet
    means we can grow
    gnarled trees on our headland
    and let sheep roam. It is about cheap
    enough for us if we borrow, beg
    and steal, pawn a few poems, also write
    a harlequin romance or two, and it’s
    only 9000 miles from the place
    we call home. There’s not much
    of a hitch except the Immigration
    would not let us stay in the country
    to live in our farmlet. But still,
    I want it and think we should go
    look at it, right now, this moment,
    while tangy sweet gooseberries glow.

  2. Thanks, Chris! We hadn’t heard this one before, and we really like it. We aren’t growing any gooseberries here yet, but are planning to plant some in due course!
