Ply Them With Balsam

My climbing rope is broken
better fix it
said the  excitable culprit

A praying mantis was in my sandwich
it provided a challenge
crunch crunch went my dentures

Please don't force the hyacinths
let them blossom in their own time
Please don't be too eager again

If your fingers grow stiff
ply them with balsam
if not rub them with ash

Teddy bear don't let the shadows get  you
Depend on somebody
Watch over for the angels
we never meet
