Jinks
As I walk down the narrow tunnel
In the solitude of Purgatory,
I see paper hearts lining the wall,
Like childrens' cut-outs, 'quite ordinary'.
Each heart has a penned name on its face.
I'm jolted seeing these memories----
Names of suitors I've known in the past,
Fascinating romance and reveries.
Their admiration fell on deaf ears,
And I left each one with a

Jungle Jinks
It was break time in the Jungle
The elephant took his chance
To ask the lady hippo
If she'd like to dance.
The Leo Lion Combo,
Sax drums guitar and bass,
Mightily played away
So music filled the space.
Twenty seven giraffe
Employed just for the night
Carried rigs to Illuminate
From their great height,
With strobes and spots
And dimmers and flash.
The Zebra formation troupe

Tomfoolery and High Jinks
Oh let's do something crazy
Let's go moonbathing at night
and we can knock on doorbells
and then have a rainball fight
Or let's go on a rampage
of destruction of all fear
We'll wreak some anti-havoc
spreading harmony and cheer
People need to drop their worries
go outside and play
a good old game of hide and seek
and we can lead the way
It's time
