Details | ABC | A Visit To a Zoo Zebras are stripy I’m sure you can see, Yaks chewing cud as slow as can be, X-ray tetra in the aquarium are seen, Warthogs with curly, white tusks that gleam, Vertebrates aplenty, some invertebrates too, Usually are seen at a visit to a zoo. Tapirs with their long funny noses, Slithering snakes in glass fronted enclosures, Roaring tigers with camouflage stripe, Quizzical otters eat eggs that they like, Puma black prowls through the bush, Orange orangutans needing a brush. Never one to refuse a tasty dish Macaroni penguins smell of fish, Lions in the sunlight all day sleeping, Komodo dragons quietly creeping, Javan Rhinoceros with skin like armour, Indian elephants size makes such drama, Hippos with their mouths open wide, Galapagos tortoise, oh what a prize! Fennec fox with really long ears, Endangered animals that people fear, Dangerous animals taking a nap, Caiman and crocodile waiting to snap, Bold zoo keepers picking up poo, All able to be seen at a trip to the zoo.

Details | Free verse | Reality “Reality” I am a Jaguar. Brownish-yellow fur, patches of black markings resembling of a rose. I search for food Stalking my prey behind trees, 5 But there are none. I walked a million miles, All for nothing. Struggling to hunt Bearing the brunt. 10 I am a sloth, A sleepy sloth that is. We are as cool as cucumbers And as mellow as the color yellow. Two-toed sloths 15 Three-toed sloths We are all the same. We hear trees crashing to the forest floor. BAMM BANGGG 20 BOOMMMM It is not the same. The same…it is not. Our homes are destroyed, Humans are overjoyed. 25 I am an Amazonian Tapir. Related to horses and rhinoceros. When young, white stripes and spots are visible, Eventually fading overtime. We are great swimmers. 30 Running into rivers Away from predators. Our habitat is shrinking. I hear animals yelp for help. Resources become scarce, 35 So do the others. It is difficult. Nature is a temple, Representative of light, unity and purity. Without change, we are doomed…including you. 40

Details | Rhyme | Questions Questions I’ve got some questions; the truth if you please I’d like to know – does a penguin have knees Can a rhinoceros – if he has a twitch Raise his back leg to get at his itch If water gets in a bull elephant’s ear Can he hop on one leg until it is clear A better one yet – can he smother a sneeze By holding his trunk between his front knees Is a zebra a white horse with black stripes on the side Or a black horse with white stripes – how can we decide Can a wolf really blow or is that just a tale Can a golf ball plug up the blowhole of a whale Why does a road runner run – can’t he fly Why does Wylie Coyote continuously try What made the very first hyena laugh It must have been one big hilarious gaffe How does a rooster know just when to crow How does a homing pigeon know where to go How does a opossum think he will survive By making us all think that he’s not alive How can a male mantis get into the act Knowing when finished he will be attacked Why does a poet write things down their way Why did you come out to hear us today These are the questions – please give them some thought I’d hate to believe they were all asked for naught

Details | I do not know? | Inspired By a Lint Cloth Ten slices of pure marmalade plus two years of misted Karmapa bread equals? Oh do hurry up. The sum is easy. Oh ok then try another. Twelve custard tarts divided by an in between feathered door divider plus a couch multiplied by a coupon? Well now. That is a layered lacquered lump. I simply do not have the time nor the inclination to wait for your answer. I am currently very very very busy lining up stones, petals, forks, gables, turrets and toes of newts. Cables cannot carry cakes and cakes are not carrying creatures. All together now in unison "that is not clever. That is not heather. That is unseen. That is the bean". Bean's breastrokes bring breasts. And a clap tap clap from the swinging cat on the ceiling fan. Grinning. Meow meow meow meow meow and this noise on and on and on to accompany the whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrr of steady rotating dog like blades. But a dog is fashionable if placed on atmospheric pressure lines. Fathom frog fathom. And gingerly hop to the pad of lily. Lily will greet you with a white space. Like an opened offering. Akin to homemade flourishing flour in a kiln. Rampant rampaging rotundical rhinoceros ringing righteous ringtones reaching realignment reality. Rather radically. Radially. But not a racial race. And a portrayal of a thirty three dimensional cuckoo clock can only be drawn when the bird appears. Bursting through then cuckooooo cuckooooooo cuckoooooooooooOoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOO at least until heard by all attendees at the sports race of Loughborough lounge. Loungers leaking leftovers. And leftovers are sniffed by a six foot monster mongrel. The leftovers get very frightened and run away. Very fast. Small legs more speed. Specification of anti aging devices on little ties which can snap like a dainty crocodile in a summer dress. Tertullian telling tales is a tortilla sunbathing but a totalitarian eating a roast beef sandwich is a bit like an ice cream on toast running over the coastal paths. Spray no wanton mutual multicoloured multipurpose multifunctional multinational mutation musically. And a stripes pyjama wearing drumming ooooo in a jar seeks refuge from hat wearing ringmasters tourists and caged leotards. Baffle no bun on a bus then. For no real complete area of shrinkage is ever sealed in a bap. Cue in the curry acre. Trees of papadum, plants of pork, canopy of chicken, beef birches. The raining in measures denotes strength of spice and slices of skewered shapes of tofu are always offered as a meat alternative. And procurement is a produce of unforeseen diagramming disco dish clothed dumpsters dancing. Whirling. When eighteen equals ten and ten is equivalent to nought. Z Papadopoulos Z at forty six y plus eleven a b cees. Jiggling. Bibliographical in a hexagonal tent. The bee hoon main road in a pair of plimsolls. XXX hahaha xx love you said gibbons to swineherds. Z
