Platypus Roosevelt

A couth poetic platypus,
Choosing words that are never rude,
Carries a heavy blunderbuss,
And softly croons a platitude.

Titch

So easy to call him Titch.
He's just a tiny teddy-bear.
Yet I, a grown-up man,
feel a strange affection.

Affection, yes, for something fluffy,
and all you can do is look at it,
talk to it – or should I say “him”? –
and leave it on a shelf, table, desk.

Ah, yes, so much history:
Theodore Roosevelt.
He hated the name Teddy,
but folk

Mole and Rat Locate Portly Otter Junior

I
Mr. R. was in rapt reverie
Mr. M rowed the boat
A last minute rescue mission
For otter gone over, for a Piper
Not Pied, but he may as well have been
Lured the junior from Mr. Portly O.
Otter senior, according to K. Grahame

Found the young otter who'd gone missing
Causing grief

True Leadership

Nation huddled in darkness
As a leader emerged
Promising a “New Deal”
Recovery from the Great Depression

Our thirty-second president
Wise, compassionate
Franklin Delano Roosevelt 
Beacon of hope for families

Warm Spring’s historic train, now rusty
Once carried people with polio
Visitors to FDR’s Little White House
Hoping tepid water would ease their plight
 
Touring the White House museum,
You can see the bed where he

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
White House is where he dwelt.
He did three long terms,
“Set term limits” congress confirms!

The Roosevelt Elk My Favorite Animal In the Wild

Roosevelt Speech

“The only thing to fear is fear itself”
FDR's speech rings true for the world's health
Nothing's changed
Cept for some names
Freedom's still out to lunch and the air still smells

Roosevelt Road

as my big brother 
placed a wooden plank 
splitting the rushing water
from the mouth of the fire hydrants
 
running throughout the city  
peace signs covered 
the corners as human 
stop signs lined roosevelt road 
twelve were present in thee upperoom

there was a round table of angst

Roosevelt On the Dime

LIFE IS 
NOT A MAGAZINE 
OF FAR AWAY PLACES 
OR OF PEOPLE 
OF FAR AWAY FACES

BUT A GAME 
WHERE EVERYONE THE SAME 
GETS TO THE FINISH LINE 
IN TIME
ALTHOUGH 

ROOSEVELT IS ON THE DIME
AND HITLER WAS A SLIME  
BETTER LAST
THAN FIRST 
STANDING UP

THAN LYING DOWN
ON YOUR SIDE
ASS IN THE AIR 
MOVE THE CHECKER
