BAT

At Halloween dinner a bat appeared
On the menu of a place call oh-dear
The bat wasn't clean
It looked tender and lean
So, it flew off shaking with fear

Premium MemberSun and Slowpoke

As the sun arcs from East to West, 
a snail embarks upon his quest - 
a shining orb flies through the air, 
a slowpoke goes from here to there.

Premium MemberPurchase Flowers from a Naked Pig

Everyone had flowers they had purchased from a naked pig
He was riding around the square a second ago, said Mrs. Big
I am not sure I want to purchase from a naked pig I said.
Do not be so prissy said my jumble bumble cousin, Fred.

He likes things that are different, he likes weird and unique.
A bicycle came around the corner holding the pig I seek
The flowers were gloriously pretty, and the prices were low.
I forgot the pig was naked and promptly yelled “hello!”

Premium MemberHe Looked Approachable

Cali, the cowgirl painted stars on her happy bull McVey
Others tried not to stare; I could not look away
He looked adorable, approachable, cute almost.
Get any nearer, she told me, and you will be a ghost.

Premium MemberRiff Raff Rift

Curses! You woke my Simon Bar Sinister!

Cuz, you fondled Miss Sweet Polly's Purebred!

I'm not gonna tolerate this Riff Raff no more!

Now, you'll deal with the Mighty Underdog's lead!


So, no Shoeshine Boy today little boy!

Go on and call your Cad Lackey, he's cranky!

You're just one more of those Little Rascals!

You're all gonna get a spanking from Spanky!


Chameleons

Living close by the Coryndon Museum
(Nairobi National Museum, ca. 1960)
on Forest Road, Museum Hill,
(where The Queen Mother, she once waved to me)
entrance for kids was free 
how well I remember it still.
There I met Mary Leakey
and where Louis Leakey
(unpaid curator)
requested reptiles of me as a lark
and they were soon to be
(ca. 1961)
denizens of the Nairobi Snake Park.
I stalked colourful chameleons,
several species even walked our washing line,
but that's not all
I collected and contributed anything and everything
that hopped, skipped, jumped or crawled.

Her Death

Her Death
-The trigger lay steady and sardonic in the hands of the ready stalker.
-She lays unaware , a spot for each grand representation of naiveness in her hair.
Full of innocence-didn’t even have chance to mature. For the hunter was to ensure the value of her fur, by stripping her bare of what she had earned.
-she was nothing more than her new found horror

Premium MemberEvery Frog and Toad

Within every warty frog or toad
that you encounter on the road,
a hidden prince sleeping, lies, 
though his tongue just catches flies; 
and if I can persuade you this, 
I suggest you give me a kiss.

Premium MemberRodentia

I am a mouse, I am I am
I am a mouse, I am
The sort you would surely kill
If you found me in your house.

I am a rat, I am I am
I am a rat, I am
Your voice would suddenly go shrill
If you found me in your hat.

Premium MemberTough Luck

I'm Sorry,
So... Guilty Sorry,
For Chasing That
Poor Hungry Rat Away.

I Don’t Think 
That Makes 
Me Gay...

Callous, Though
And Weak!
In A Vermin
Rat-Like Way.

***

Blah blah blah
Don't rhyme.

Premium MemberDAILY GRATITUDE BEING KIND TO ANIMALS

I’m grateful that I know…
something that in every part of the world is true…

If we teach our children to be kind to animals
there’s a good chance they will grow up
and be kind to people too.

Premium MemberA LESSON IN HUMILITY

May we be reminded by ducks…
about our capability…
something we humans desperately need
call it a lesson in humility…

When we think we are the superior to ducks…
we need to stop and ask ourselves why…
It’s true we can both swim and walk…
but only one of us can fly.

Silence

Why is the silence
Like a deafening roar
I still cringe when someone
Knocks on our door

I wait for your chorus 
Your lion like bark
But the silence is blinding
Like a nuke in the dark

I wake up to barking
And half asleep
I automatically go
Check outside for a creep

I wake in the night 
And sneak out of bed
So I don't disturb you
Then I remember your dead

Why would the world
Steal you like that
I couldn't tell you I loved you
And send you off with a pat

The world didn't deserve 
An angel like you
And wherever you are
I'll always love you my boo

Premium MemberIs Everything Ducky

Everything is ducky in their house I bet
I turned and saw the twins – Annie and Annette
Wearing duck hats and ducks on their feet
With dour expressions, they never look sweet

Sure, just ducky I agreed and we all had a laugh
The elephant, raccoon, me and the giant giraffe
Annie and Annette have been grumpy since day one.
I do not think they have even once had a bit of fun

The fact that they dress in ducks is amusing to us
They look stupidly silly, said a sloth name of Gus
He rarely comments, said the elephant’s daughter.
I smiled myself as these grumps came out of the water.

Wearing ducks as if to say everything is ducky
When their expressions always say the world is yucky
The contrast brought a bit of a smile on me
Then they turned and dove back into the Indian Sea.

Premium MemberSteampunk Turtle

steampunk turtle became an Uber right away
He transported four happy riders on Wednesday
Taking them to see sights they had never seen
Past a troll and tiger, who were both rather mean

We should have done this years ago a little one said
If that tiger got us, we would surely be most dead
I was not invented until a month ago steampunk turtle said
But I am glad to take you past that tiger; his name is toothy Fred.
