Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Absurd Animal Comparisons

   Scavenging relentlessly
     Some critters find food effortlessly
 
   Like possums, skunks and raccoons
     Though not one of them carries a tune... 

   The arctic wolf rarely fills his belly 
     ~ but at least he can howl at the moon

Bill Baker August 4, 2025 at 9:49 PM I enjoyed your poem, Gersho. Foolow up on wife's comment below. The coyotes get it going from time to time. BB

sara Etgen-Baker August 4, 2025 at 3:38 PM I chuckled as I read your comparative words. We live on the edge of town surrounded by undeveloped fields. So we have lots of critters--mostly possums, rabbits, mice, skunks, and coyotes. None of them has yet to sing. :-) Gershon Wolf August 4, 2025 at 3:43 PM Yep, unlike kittens, those rodents are not known for their silver throats. lol.

Terry Flood August 4, 2025 at 2:09 PM I guess it’s just one of nature’s trade offs. I mean… I can barely hold a note…. but then, I’m far from malnourished. Enjoyed your absurd (your words) comparison ;-)
