Notes About The Poem

3/26/2026 for Nailing Jell-O to a Wall Poetry Contest sponsored by Suzette Richards 

Betting on the Lamb

Fountain of Youth, El Dorado, pie in the sky - 
long odds bets and stakes are high.
Still, people cry...and betting will not cease
till there's a world of love and peace.

I'm betting on the lion. And he's not laying down with the lamb, either. ~ Rhea Liszt

I think the optimal animal is some kind of lamb/lion blend.
