Screen Door View

My screen door view let in the air and the light 

but mostly it helped keep our house cool at night 

Our wood frame screen door was painted mint green 

because from the road it could easily be seen 

it had a pull handle that you could grasp with real ease

It kept out the flies but let in a cool breeze 

we could hear mom say “I’m not gonna tell you any more!”

You better stop slamming that front screen door

The screen door was a permanent fixture to most country homes

Mostly for a breeze but because a lot of critters would roam

The screen doors of today are made of metal and glass

But I’ll take the old wooden screen door we had in the past
