neat and country clean,
shiny faces,
bowl cut blond hair boys,
girls heads white wrapped,
chin to ankle dresses.
hand made clothing
neatly pressed.
brains stilled of the noise.
save click brush sweeping of the brooms - whisk, whisk.
and heavy clip, clop stepping horses
pulling black carriages.
the family is a unit.
we turned in at the hand made sign
but they were fresh out of eggs.
notice also said donuts.
girl said they had ‘em.
gave the nod, she left her push mower,
to kitchen storage out back.
walked barefoot the length of the gravel drive
in her ankle length gray swaying dress.
returned with an assortment in a plastic bag,
seven or eight doughnuts for a stiff five bucks,
weighing in slightly less than near a pound apiece.
puffy fresh, sticky sweet, tasty mighty good.
why wasn't there a coma after tasty?
cause the rule is: you write 'em any way you like.

The absence of a comma changes the rhythm too... in this case in good fashion. That still doesn't mean "coma" is spelled right...although if you eat enough of those one pound donuts you will likely lapse into one(In my opinion a great way to go.).
Did i mention i need a secretary?
Forget it. You'd never fit into the outfit I've selected.
Your photo reminds me too much of Darth Vader.
