Let the Life Under the Umbrellas

Let’s leave the cats Thinking like cats, Stretch and sleep, Let’s leave the turtles, Thinking like turtles, Love the green salad, Let’s leave the oranges, Thinking like oranges, With sweet orange juice, Let the girls Think like girls With black rimmel on the eyes, Let us listen Soften thoughts By Jean Sebastian Bach, Let’s leave the flowers In the wild Thinking like flowers, Let’s leave the French Think like French people, Take care of everything, Let’s leave the sky, All pink in Oregon, All blue in Marseille, Let’s leave the dogs Bark like a dog. Thinking that people are bad, Let’s leave the table, Think like a table, At the lunch hour. Let’s leave the rabbit, Think like a rabbit, Being afraid of everything, Stew with brown sauce, Let’s leave the words Think like words, Write our poems, Let’s give time Slip through the fingers, Thinking about tomorrow, Let’s leave the sea Go down to the sea, Think like water, Let the life, Think like us, That all ends one day, Even love, Let’s leave the cats, Thinking like cats, Stretch and sleep, Let the life Under the umbrellas, Let’s all enjoy her.

Your poem epitomizes the "let it be" philosophy. A fine philosophy! My papa used to say "To catch a fish, you have to think like a fish." Thanks for the write and for the fun memory. :)

Let everyone be and do as they want, cats, dogs all animals too. Is annoying when someone questions your moves, it is quite simply rude. Enjoyed the read Yann… Belle

The cats make a second appearance. The dogs think people are bad while the cats stretch and sleep, probably hiding under the covers.
