Our hooves, claws, horns and fingernails
To pick up objects like straw in bales,
Made of keratin, rarely affected by ails,
Helps us to raise our boats with fine sails.
shiny rhinoceros horns on your hands
hair grows in beautiful strands
not horn but nails and same as hair
your flesh ripped by white black bear
spirit stole your life
and for lunch ate your wife
Her body produced more keratin than most
As her first cousin I often did kind of boast.
We called her turtle girl in honor of her shell
A cool hiding place for her head to hide and dwell.
I wish I could bring in my legs too she often said.
She was never able to until a day before she was dead.
I thought of her for years after her death and quite often
Especially how her tail stuck out of the side of her coffin

The Tuesday Afternoon Toenail
The toenail lay upon the floor,
it shimmered like a gossamer boar.
Oh, keratin crescent of beige-ish hue,
I cherish you deeper than a canoe.
Your edges poke like a cactus stew,
my soul is trembling, woo-woo-woo-woo.
The clipper is missing, my courage is gone,
I will guard this toenail until the dawn.
