Took My Orchid For a Walk
I took my orchid for a walk
Delicate, but she did not squawk
We walked around the town and my block.
I only stumbled once on a tiny granite rock.
Can we go home now? My orchid asked me.
She had spied a leopard in a nearby tree.
I had no idea he was there watching me.
She told me later after I’d reached safety.
I wanted to go see the creature for myself.
She asked that I park her first on yonder shelf.
Leopard was gone, which mean no selfie to take.
Going back there someone said was a big mistake.
But leopards do not bother me, for I like them.
They sometimes grab ahold of my hem.
And walk around with me, scaring others.
You cannot be serious! Say the PTA mothers
