Our pup, Shadrack, did pass away;
And altho’ they never seemed like friends,
My old cat, Jorg, knew Shad had met
   his untimely end.

He mourned his loss every day

China charges 1 million annually
For each panda in our zoos

Like one with eyes to azure skies,...

When you clean houses you get to see the strangest ornaments,
Some collections are a defence and a wall of armaments,

I know six languages, 
The one I write in
The one I speak in,
My mother’s words,
My father's verse,

It grows as fast as tomato plants

"The Day The Zebra Met The Panda"


It was 
inevitable, 
that one day,
these two would meet!
They shared something
so deep in common,
