Carolyn Devonshire Poet Quatrain

Party On

The date’s been set and many will attend
Just the penguin will be wearing his tux
A “come as you are” I did extend 
So expect to see antlers on the bucks

In the heart of Sherwood Forest we’ll meet
Guests will include many from Noah’s ark
Each one I can’t wait to heartily greet
The skunk will be seated with the aardvark

Filet mignon is the menu of choice
But heifers were threatening to boycott
So a vegan dish has made them rejoice
And something fishy may arrive by yacht

A songbird choir will be entertaining
(Can’t wait to see the tarantula dance)
Trees will give shelter if it is raining
Elk will surely line up, ready to prance

The Lion King and the Duke of Squirrel
Will receive the red carpet treatment
And Miss Piggy will be our cover girl
Turning heads of many a furry gent

It all sounds so grand, but here’s the best part
Once this party begins, there’ll be no end
Animals live in harmony; they’re smart
And not one other human will attend

Justin Bordner July 30, 2014 at 2:24 AM Bravo Carolyn! The humans are to busy competing I'm sure. Great array of description and furry fun. Animals have more freedom than humans, they simply live, they don't regulate each other, ha. J.A.B. AF&AM

Painted Hunter July 29, 2014 at 1:19 PM Oh, in case I'm mistaken....I was thinking you lived in the Florida Keys. I was in Key West a few years ago but not for long. Had time to grab a slice of key lime pie though...had some pretty darn good Mexican food there too, but I can't remember the name of the place...

Painted Hunter July 29, 2014 at 1:01 PM Sounds like this party might make me hungry...;) And isn't aardvark just the funniest word? Did you ever hear the song on PBS?..I think maybe it was on Sesame Street..."I'm an aardvark...and i'm freeeee ...I'm an aardvark" Well, I can't remember the rest...talk about coming out of left field, huh? And hey, I think I was in your neck of the woods last week. Did some fishing in the Gulf. I like salt-water fishing when I get a chance. Only problem is sometimes I get sea-sick..;) Carolyn Devonshire July 29, 2014 at 2:45 PM Dear Caleb, Alas, I never did see Sesame Street. My mother wouldn't allow us to watch TV during the day. Guess I missed a great song, eh?
