Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

Outside of the Cage

puppy licks himself all over
    kitty wrestles with a bone
  a horse jumps over the moon
    a cow on the range is home

  a snake sits next to Miss Muffet
    a spider swallows a rock whole
  Little Bo Peep loses her bears
    a sheep gets engaged to a foal

  animals normally don't act out of character
    ~ we humans design wigs for baldies and barristers

Kim Rodrigues September 29, 2022 at 5:10 AM The cow’s a little testy that his spot over the moon was usurped! Miss Muffet now sees the error of her ways for being frightened by a mere arachnid. Humans love to cover up all sorts of sins. Just a few tidbits on your thoughts! ;)

Shirley Hawkins September 28, 2022 at 8:14 PM And other weird things. Gershon Wolf September 29, 2022 at 6:18 PM Weird, odd, and queer. Oops. That last word was a big no-no these days. Pity one can no longer be 'gay' either. ~ The Even Couple
