Old school painted barns
some used for advertising
some owners treasure
I was once hopped up to visit the zoo
Until hopped upon by a kangaroo.
Never met such a female grouch!
She beat me until in her pouch
A can of snoose I placed for her to chew.
If I had a kangaroo’s pouch
I would house a baby bunny inside
It would have big ears and bigger feet.
My tummy would tickle when it jiggled around in there.
If the bunny hopped out, I would replace her with a robin.
A mommy robin with a pretty nest and three sky blue eggs.
When she wanted to feed them worms I would kick them out.
I do not want worms in my pouch.
I would get a puppy next.
A puppy never leaves.
A puppy is loyal.
The mutt
Followed me home
Determined, unafraid
Wants to fit into our family
Loves us complete and immediately
Lives with us until his old age
Determined, unafraid
Kept forever
Our Dog
When Grandmother Kangaroo goes for a visit,
She takes twenty teacakes, and old alarm clocks.
Her pouch could contain a tiara exquisite,
Mint toothpaste, her quilting, and pink jagged rocks.
She's never without her big key chain and cough drops.
There's even a salt shaker for when she cooks.
When Grandma the kangaroo goes for a long stop,
There's glasses for reading; she takes along books!
Non, hairy, haven,
The momma possum’s bosom,
Purse pouch vouches safe,
For babies facing drama,
Momma's death by car trauma!
In Honor Of: Chris Aechtner & Contest: Sanctuary
Baby opossums are so well protected in their mother's pouch that when she suffers a fatal
trauma, such as getting hit by a car , the baby possums often remain unharmed.

my dirty little stones in a pouch
received in a hotel one night
slid them under my pillow
dreamt sweetly
opened the pouch in the morning after breakfast
saw dirty little stones
wondered what they could be
went to smith the jeweller
sat on the couch as i waited for him to wash them
came to me holding something glittery
it was diamonds
i jumped up and down
told him he could sell them on a black market
take his share
i locked them in my safe at home
would you like to hear more
before i do that
i have to go and testify at the hague
diamonds are forever and you too should have them
