If a dainty pink flower I would be,
I would choose the delicate peony.
Anteater friendly,
Really bendy,
Encouraging him to lick ants off me.
Anteater’s ideas are absolute.
Buff-cheeked gibbon gives them a toot.
Tree kangaroo throws down a shoot.
Peacock pheasant gives them the boot.
I run away with all of their loot.
I am kind of a robber galoot.
Spiky hair.
Brittle.
Porcupine,
hedgehog,
spiny anteater
echidna,
kid.
Grow up prickly.
Grow up quick.
They raze -
rib dig.
Hurts in his alphabet soup.
Jeers jar.
quills quiver.
Curled up,
face tucked
into heart.
The Aardvark and the Pangolin,
Romantically, had been entwined.
But infidelity, was in the air,
Aardvark, had a new suiter in mind.
Pangolin, did challenge his rival,
The Anteater with beautiful snout.
Don’t fear for me, on your betrayal,
Sweet Armadillo, is taking me out.
Anteater guy swings his two tiny 'shrooms
They toss and sway like willow tree blooms
We watch him waddle on down the road
Probably to visit his cousin spotted toad.
He is so dreamy my cousin Suzette said.
I am shocked at her idea – is she crazed in the head.
You don’t mean Anteater guy! I incredulously say
Who else? She asks as she watches him waddle away.
Spiky hair,
brittle waves,
porcupine,
hedgehog,
spiny Anteater,
echidna.
A kid
growing up
prickly.
The long tongues
of children
gibe him sharp.
Tumbleweed in the schoolyard.
Can’t tread him down.
Hurts are on the surface
like frozen
alphabet spaghetti.
Thorns and barbs,
jagged Jeers,
quills quietly quivering
the quarry -
face tucked
into his heart.
I felt her gaze upon me
With unavoidable bright eyes
Her adoration made me smile
She is so innocent, yet so wise
I swooped her up and held her close
That's when it all went south
With the speed of an anteater
My dog Pixies tongue was in my mouth!
Her mouth may be cleaner than mine
That didn't dampen my chagrin
Because I forgot, and licked my lips
Even knowing where that tongue had been!
Anteater had Covid and no one would come over
Swan ran toward his house with her pet dragonfly Clover.
They brought him ants freshly picked from the fallen log.
He was excited to see them, and so was Chester, his dog.
Thank you for coming! Do you want something to eat?
I wouldn’t! Warned a scurrying corner-hugging mouse.
Of course, they did not want food from this germy house
But the generous anteater’s gesture was sweet.
Mrs. Suzie Q. Anteater will take the lead, Ms. Gerbil said.
If I try to take over she might thump me hard on the head.
We did not know what she was talking about, what did she know?
We saw them parading down to town, going kind of ploddish and slow.
I told you she’d take over, Ms. Gerbil’s eyes seemed to say.
This made us laugh a little bit into our hankies that day.
Mrs. Suzie Q. Anteater is the mother of eight or nine.
You’d best do what she says and stand straight in her line.
