Savanna Tells Fortunes At the Fair

Savanna had the prettiest blue-black hair
Azure ebony, some call these fat ringlets
I watch her mesmerize the crowd
She is the quintessential fortune teller

Most want her attention – men and women
She has the best predictions,
Nothing gloomy or dire
No terrifying warnings

Her fortunes are given to the fairgoers lovingly
Her kindness is as prominent as her beauty
People feel her star

Santa's Living In Savanna

I once met a man who said he was Santa
He was drinking a large strawberry Fanta,
He loved making a splash
In and out in a flash,
Last I heard he was moving to Savanna.

Savanna Versus Aunt Vee

Savanna was on this earth eight years.
She stood up for her friends, danced ballet,
Jumped out of an airplane with her dad.
Her laugh was excruciatingly wonderful
Almost everyone who met her enjoyed something
She was an artist, a painter, a cartoonist, a story teller.
She left twenty-one first cousins to mourn her.
Cancer took her away from them two weeks

Bananas

There was a lady from Montana
Who fell in love with a banana,                
Which had such an appeal 
She felt urged to reveal
They planned to elope to Havana.

She rented a seaside cabana
Nested between beach and savanna.
At a party she threw
Came a

Savanna Song

Have you heard?
The old bull elephant has left the herd
With a shuffling gait and weary eye
Underneath the savanna sky
Wandering off all alone
The Sun had spoken 
It was time to come home

Can't you see?
The old bull elephant is finally free
His battle-scarred and furrowed hide
Concealed the pain that raged inside
Off he went so dignified 
Tusks held high

African Savanna Cheetah Vs the Wildebeest

I FEAST MY EYES UPON A HEARD.
I LAY AND WAIT WITHOUT A WORD.
SLOWLY, SLOWLY, I MADE MY WAY.
THE WILDEBEEST WILL BE MY PREY.
I SELECTED A FEW, AND THEN DOWN TO ONE.
LEAPED INTO ACTION AND STARTED TO RUN.
I SHORTENED MY DISTANCE WITH EVERY STRIDE.
IT TRIED TO ESCAPE BY GOING WIDE.
I ADJUSTED MY SPEED AND CHANGED MY

After That Savanna

I began to lose my mind
my friends I could not find

I was then taken by a man
who bought me another can

and promised me heaven
it was late after eleven

I was so drunk I could not see
he took me to his house free

I really got hammered
I got hammered very hard

In the morning I woke up 
with scars

Savanna Night

Savannah Night

There was an uneasy feeling that night on the savannah.
The creatures were jumpy as they huddled and grazed.
Startling at each new sound, one stamps its foot and
the vast herd flees, from what they are unsure.

The lions creep through the long grass setting an ambush.
The first pair's job to spook the herd now is done.
The

Savanna Mind

Steel mountains tower over ancient minds
The mismatched soul anachronism  
Instincts progressively lagging behind 
Primitive brain sees a deep red cataclysm

Ghostly mastodons stalk the fluorescent plain 
A daunting checklist of tasks today 
Frigid rivers to be crossed in your brain 
Endless list of invisible foes you must slay  

A war without coffins, blood, or

Across Our Savanna

From shore to shore coast to coast
We’re the nation with the most

The most of what well lets just see
We lead in infidelity

We lead in sin that is for sure
Pay on Sunday is the cure

I think about our Countries plight
Seems like we have lost all sight

We’re founded in the name of God
Best not be the lightening
