If a gopher sees its shadow
Winter's here to stay
More accurate than any weatherman
Even gets it right for yesterday!

O, Viking Gods of the Norse
you governed the mighty seas
your boats were built of gopher wood
and you made wise use of a breeze!

Verse
I'll never sell my old .22
cause that old .22
shot a gopher or two
I aim to the left
and a little low
cause that old .22 fires high
and a little to the right.
So i'll never sell that old .22.

Ballad
Gopher decided he would dig to China, and so he did.
He began to charge customers, who wanted to travel far away.
It’s a joke some said, a gimmick, a tease, a kid.
So, they did not get to venture to China that day.

Sun’s up
Neighborhood cats
Have resumed their posts
In my yard full of holes
Arms folded, ever alert
Occasionally arching, creeping
And even springing
At giggling gopher ghosts
The felines revel
In having something to do
Getting it done
Would spoil the fun

Free verse
a gopher sat on my toe today
sassy and saucy, his name was Ray
What fun do you have? The scamp asked me
I rocked my toe, so he could see
Do that again, he goaded me
I teeter-tottered him to my knee
Come back tomorrow the gopher said
He blew me a kiss and my face turned red

Rhyme
Breaking points are reached
when you are gliding
just is as smooth as silk.
Acceptable risks go rogue,
easy-street gets bumpy;
beware then
for there are gopher holes,
shoals of piranha appear
in rain puddles,
then sleeping moles awaken in your head
and they don't like smooth.

I.
I strolled through a field of clovers
Looking each one of them over
When I found that fourth leaf
All my joy turned to grief
When my prize was snatched by a gopher.
II.
Last night as I left the bar
A leprechaun stood by my car
He offered to drive
So I’d get home alive
And now I don’t know where we are.

Limerick
Why don’t geckos sink into the sand
Disappearing into the promised land?
What saves their Arizona lives? What keeps them up?
The flaps in between their toes said my Uncle Hup.
I thought he was joking, because he is a funny guy
So, I looked it up in my gecko book which was way up high
He was exactly right, my uncle, with his goofy laugh
Now I am researching the gopher and the giraffe

Rhyme
Find me in the sea full of empty shells.
They are bones over Noah’s burnt vessel,
ashes of gopher, Calvary’s wood the
timeless ark and rungs on Jacob’s ladder.
Moor your might to my truth and blink your eye.
Before you’re adrift in Luke’s gulf, find me.

Verse
Chubs is gravely flat.
We remove our hats.
Her wheel deflated him—
Chubs, my cuddly cat.
Flounder is lying flat,
ambling on his back.
Her croutons choked him—
Flounder, my friendly catfish.
Gopher is resting back-flat,
striking position for naps.
Her diabolical chocolate gateau
snuffed him out almost.
Gopher rose once again,
my mangy mutt, back-to-life.
Ma decried; she'd die
in a reindeer stampede

Find me
in the sea full
of empty shells.
They are bones over
Noah’s burnt vessel,
ashes of gopher,
Calvary’s wood the
timeless ark and
rungs on Jacob’s ladder.
Moor your might to
my truth and blink
your eye. Before
you are adrift
in Luke’s gulf,
find me.
