A Minor

There were no ribbons
And the cake was black
Someone was singing off key
But meant well
We never know
When it will mean something
Strike a responsive chord
Or A minor
Of course
Ribbons aren’t always necessary
Sometimes just black crepe is enough
It all depends on who’s singing
Doesn’t it?

I took the photo at an organic blueberry farm off Sandridge Rd. on the Long Beach Peninsula off the Washington coast. I have no idea who created the tile-decorated statues.
