National Poetry Month Poem For April 1: See If I Don't, by P.V. Jeltz

It's National Poetry Month!
Basically, what that means, is that I'm going to attempt an upload every day of a poem. Sometimes it will be me reading, sometimes my wife.

You'll also get your once a week Weird Tale, so if you don't like the poetry, you are absolutely free to delete without listening. But give it a listen. You might find something you didn't even know you liked.

Today's poem, which is absolutely supposed to have been uploaded yesterday is "See If I Don't," by P.V. Jeltz
