Don Johnson Poet Ballade

Beasts Carolyn

emotions they flutter, 
and lessons are learned,
beware of the eyes of the beast,
charmed by the snake,
 bird hesitates,
so hypnotised, 
now it cant speak.

so it's now up the creek:(    (cactus, snake do do)


cactus ratshoot was the bird, 
after the snake had scoffed him on,
 a sweet delight, and he was gone, 
anon, too right momma...
