Natures weed eaters
Twenty thousand grass hoppers
Sound of helicopters

banished by sea
shrivelled by sun
decomposition waits
   kelp flies and beach hoppers
   find paradise in sand...

Grasshopper hunter
Gathered grasshoppers
In one container he put them
By morning they had eaten
One another to skeletons
But he stood aside laughing
At the foolish hoppers...

Bumbling along in my jumpsuit and clod hoppers
A sight to behold, a fashion statement for shoppers
Stylish and appealing
For the elderly beings
Reminds me of the days when I was a big bopper...

birds fly high and die
airplanes casually crash ~
within vital cells

jets plow proudly
calamitous hoppers cleave ~
bombs blow balloons

none responsible
wars fought won laurelled and lost ~
cool clouds camouflage

if a frog hops
a fish jumps
a kangaroo hops
and a rabbit jumps
grasshoppers hops
some to the tree tops
daddy, daddy make them stop



WHERE ARE THEY GOING?
 -they go up they come down to back to the ground
where are they now???

Frog hoppers dance by the brilliant light of the moon.
The jitterbugging is lively and some of them swoon.
Two get carried away. One of them tries to spoon.
The other frog pushes her away, as he does a loud croon.

There is a howling wail of a meadow lark loon.
An interloper spies on them, a masked raccoon.
They dance their legs off on the sand dune.
Most of them are excited at the frog’s old-time tune....

Walking stick stroking limestone paths
sunshine warming these patina hands-

A fleeting chorus of gold winged finch,
God sashaying over cherry wood violins-

Turtles playing dominos on mossy stones
amidst cattails and croaking saxophones-

Cardinal splashing in blue spruce pines
emerald hoppers popping out a nursery rhyme-

Maple leaves flaunting sweetened faces
blue jean angels sowing quilts for earth's day-

When magma begins to flow
The wise begins to build bridges,
And construct channels and dams
That the god of magma
may be worshiped

When epidemics begin to rehearse 
the sages begin  to dig tombs
and cane drums in their bald heads
That those who perish
may rest case in troubles

When hens begin to crow
the cocks begin to quack  power
and foxes hire grasshoppers for dinner
That the land of chickens and hoppers
may endure forever...

Not Hopping
Some trainers in the BPO industry
Have worked in 20 or 30 different places
Brian met 2 or more such trainers
Both had worked in dozens of centres
Between a month’s training and years
Finally settling down to train others
Being Hoppers no more job to job
Instilling their skills info knowledge
With wisdom guidance mind set
It takes skill to be a trainer
And something else to excel
Getting the next generation ready
Reps support trainers OMs...

Beautiful Lake Marion

The Lake as Beautiful as the big blue sky
Sits welcoming
The sun beams in and wakes people in the mornings
When they wake they get right to their activities
Kayak and Canoes paddle around 
While swimmers’ heads pop up in the wavy blue water.
Feet bounce on the hot pavement the tires whir past the sweaty hoppers
The smell of smoke fills the air as marshmallows cook by the fire in late afternoon
The sound of waves fills the night air
People enjoy Lake Marion...
