You bite that apple!
Give it a go, put on a show

Sleeve after...

Now who entrusted an ugly octopus
with the pretty plaid pocketbook?

An eight arm six-finger crook
crawling up the vault wall
is such a dirty, filthy lucre look

Those pretty piggy bank pennies
are no-account disappearing

On the plains in the Texas panhandle
The fight for survival is real
As I watched from the derrick 
On a short smoke break
A scene rather harsh and surreal

A cottontail bunny was having his way
In a pasture...

In a nearby weeping willow tree
A visitor is perched upon a bough
Robin is singing somewhere above me
I'd never noticed the myriad variations 
Of his warbling song until now

If I sit here long enough
Who knows what...

Skies were gray again,
 another day of rain falling constant without end
but the cottontail buck bunny made his way
 through the wet bending grass on display
 to find the clover patch for which he prayed.

the pond’s ice is out and turtles sun on logs.
Robins and their young bounce across the lawn,
hunting for worms and grubs just under the soil.
The days bring barbecues and...

With ears long and funny.

With the cutest cottontail.

Bringing a basket for all the girls and boys,
Filled with chocolates and toys.

Meeting a friend along the way,
Each and...

ear tingling howls, locate their kill sight
or did they rumage another dump site

A Crafty Survalist at peace with the night
Shy, inquisitive, Owners of the dense brush
They hide and laugh when...
