About This Poem

If Beavers Wore Pants



If turkeys could talk Or elephants could squawk What a very strange world this would be If ants could dance Or beavers wore pants And hamburgers grew on trees If bumble bees wheezed Fleas walked on their knees What a strange way of looking at things False teeth on a gator A polka dot tater And cabbage with tiny green wings Deers that drink beer Or gnats with big ears Weeds hanging down from their gizzards Grasshoppers with cheeks Or a cow with a beak A group of friendly pink lizards Don't know what this means But they've entered my dreams I wake up in a cold sweat sometimes They all seem so real Makes me shudder and squeal So I get up and pull down the blinds © Jack Ellison 2012

    Know what I think Jack? Just getting to know you but I think you would write best selling children's books, if you don't already! Wonderful!

    I don't know how you put these things together... But it always works... Our cat from Phoenix saw her first squirrel today... She wanted those strange crazy things.... LOL

    So the squirrels in the neighbourhood probably have put out an "all points bulletin" warning their friends to be on the lookout for Phoenix! LOL
