In-House Pachyderm

Too large to avoid everyone knows it's here
not wishing to collide they won't stand too near
nor broach the subject they keep it under wraps
Mum's the word keep it under your hat
they all walk 'round it talk around it
they're not blind so what gives
it's unkind to animals and who wants to live
with an elephant in the

A woman and the bear

Cold weather
Rain pouring
Woman sleeping
Black bears watching
A miracle happens
A young woman safe sleeping
The black bears staring
What a good story to tell
Amen

SCIENTIST

Scientist in the present are
Trying to play God with the future 
Pre-historic animals have been discovered
Still in tack, and you're trying to
Recreate the past that wasn't 
Meant to be, dinosaurs and other
pre-extinct animals were destroyed
Millions of years ago for a reason
Humans and dinosaur animals
We're not meant to live together
And I'm not planning on being
The meal,

Premium MemberSilence Broke, Animals Spoke

Oh, God bless the beasts,
that have no voice, 
that have no choice.
We can't really see  
the world they see,  
or know what they truly want and feel,  
until they can talk to us 
in a proper conversation...

"Ben, the two of us, need look no more.
We've both found, what we were looking for!"
"I

Davy Crockett 1786-1836

According to the ballad,
Davy Crockett, born in Tennessee
(part of North Carolina at the time),
kilt him a b'ar when he was only three
(altho' only a song,
always had my doubts about cruelty to animals
from one so young).
Playing with it night and day, young Davy
should have taken more care
(had a hunting reputation),
he pulled the arms and legs off
his

The Kitten

The Kitten

In canine halls of wisdom, where dogs do reside,
A furry little menace, has decided to abide,
A kitten, small and sassy, with eyes so bright,
A ball of fluff and trouble, that's always in sight.

She pounces on my tail, with a playful little mew,
I'm like "Hey, what's the deal?" but she just looks at me "mew",
She's

A day at the Zoo

I called to the monkey who wore a pinstriped suit,
Found out the giraffe and hippo are mute.
Saw a man stare at a lemur 'til dark,
Like he was waiting for some kind of spark.

The leaves fell from trees, an impressive display,
So I waved my arms like I made it that way.
A woman made comment to me,

ZOO LIFE

Zoo life is where some live, they are trapped in the zoo of life. 
They stay all day in the zoo, living in their cage. 
They wait to see all the people pass them by so they can jump up and down, and make a show. 
They need love and care; they only want attention

Black Birds Flying At Walmart

Black Birds Flying at Wal-Mart
I see them gather, flock on flock,
At 7:30am sharp, they start to squawk and talk.
The sun peeks up, the horizon glows,
The air alive with cackles and crows.
Their feathers bristle, sharp and black,
They soar and dip, they dart fourth and back.
Their eyes, a yellow shining disc,
Reflect the light, a golden whisk.
The parking

Premium MemberAnimals, lyrics

It was a party of fleas who dropped some tea into the sea,
Created a baby that left its mommy,
Now there is an elephant and donkey in the room,
So, lets ask, who’s the bigger a--? 

A spark, a flare, lighting a camel, an affair,
Puff of smoke gone, what went wrong?
Bully the pulpit, who’s the culprit,
Line drawn

They Don't Swear
'Cause They Can't Talk.

But They Sure Do
Curse A Lot!

Silverish

The perfect petals puncture the fabric’s purple-blue,
 And silver-platter fins paint the water every hue.
 A globed sky has thawed, ripe with pine and sapphire stars—
 And the glinted sheen of the oil graze on your lips reminds me who and where you are:

South; below the electric-white moon,
 Bright enough to bleach my bones and
