Free Cee Are There Caribou In Malibu

ARE THERE CARIBOU IN MALIBU? The frail I fail to reach The elderly with so much to teach Those older whose shoulder brushes mine And yet each and every eye still to shine Those tangled up by values and vine The ones who nourish squirrels in some secluded square Those with remembrances to relate with reverence, relevance and a touch of flair The old and the better ones The aged and embittered ones Those who fear to do what they could never dare Those who neither dare nor bare secrets shame surely shan’t share r That elder over there on a bench was once a tailor in a shop on Main in Malibu That one used to do conservation work for the caribou Because every elder once was…………. Everyone once was something Something of worth with value assessed Everyone has been caressed With lonely last times and blessed by first times Bed times, bad times and the worst times Rain shower times and feathery flower times Repressing and depressing times…………….. Most had lovers to whom they were inclined Still others had delight definitively defined Some fell well behind Others, on occasion, rose to the occasion Each once had a viable vocation Everyone did something kind Everyone had vengeance weighing on their mind Everyone tried to kindle a spark And some were deserted deeply in the dark Yet only a sacred few died and acutely, with acumen, left their mark © 2012…..PHREEPOETREE ~free cee!~
