he flew
When asked, said the wrong location
for he mistook it

an island
any world that welcomes him
madagascar or samoa, whatever...

There once was a chap from Madagascar
Who was nuts about women and fast cars
   He left the island
   Invested in nylon
Now he's an executive at NASCAR...

Africa, beautiful continent
Dreamy echoes fascinate
Giraffes heighten inclines
Jurassic known linger
Madagascar nestles offshore
Primates quest reform
Savannah tribes umbilical
Visioned waves x-ray
Young zebra...

Never thought I'd be cheering for an iguana but I did
Snakes on Madagascar don't play fair, they're hypocrites
Look cute, by crikey
But really, gorblimey
Ain't the nicest of serpents, eat iguanas and their kids...

Nicola
Happy, sad, angry, sweet
Sister of Jenny and Louisa
Lover of literature, frogs and music
Who feels love, fear and joy
Who fears inadequacy, catastrophe and wasps
Who would like to see kindness, Madagascar and sunshine
Resident of Glasgow, Scotland

The Spanish had armadas;
the Americas, flotillas.
The Amazon has capybara;
the Andes has chinchillas.
Kentucky has its sassafras;
Madagascar has vanilla.
Napoleon lost at Waterloo;
Frazier, in Manila.
Will a person tell the Mexicans
how to pronounce tortilla?

Cognac & Brandy recollections,
   sublime warmth 'tween
        smoky exhaled vapors,
wisps of  Madagascar aromatics 
       & blazes of Autumn firesides
    amidst a French Château fantasy,
  dipped in honeysuckle reminisces 
      of cardamom spice and the pungent
         zest of once upon twilit legends...

Ringtail lemurs in Madagascar
Do not travel alone or very far
They hunt in groups, close to the ground.
Seen by few, but quite easily found

Ringtail lemurs weighing less than five pound
Running around foraging, their tummies are round.
Diurnal of course, which means they sleep at night
But are awake and conversing during happy daylight...

They craved something sweet
Something specail
A one of a kind lady deserves
Specail things for a specail lady
Madagascar vanilla for
A treat
Weather with cream or
Or with chocalate
Strawberries
Or flavor in your
Favorite sauce
Or make that 
Kuril island toast
With pound cake
Toasted hazelnuts
Whiskey and coconuts 
Kamchatka cream
and of course chocalate
Everyone will love you
Everyone will
Want more...

African shape is a problem
stable question mark it is
Madagascar, the misplaced dot
asks questions with no answers
writes puzzles with no solutions
West Africa, a big head
the north, charcoal stove
the south cats, dogs together
the east, sticky chairs
the horn, terror and piracy
waist, rape capital of the world
what a question mark shape!
what a Pandora box!
Perhaps grade up the shape
to answer Africa’s questions...

On his table of Formica,
A once ardent Christian Micah 
Drops reggae from Jamaica;
Newly, Peter Tosh’s great liker 
No more Soulless Demons’ Striker:
Paul in Thessalonica…

For ten years in America, 
Eyes on the female Hitch hiker, 
Mid-course rides turning her liker!
Have you been to Madagascar? 
I’d had to and lasted The Scar…”

The First, we’ve heard, shall be The Last:
In his own case, a truth, too fast…

Micah for Marley’s Jamaica....

Madagascar is home to the weird
strange inhabitants found nowhere else
on this planet or thousands of others
tenrecs scatter themselves among the vegetation

They have a reputation for being striped or plain
some might have spots or ruffles
Tenrecs are diverse, some looking like hedgehogs
others evolving with different traits

they evolve into strange looking creatures
based on their habits and habitats
I see something scurry away under a vine
It may have been a tenrec...

"Madagascar Sky"

When Kusi becomes Kaskazi,
Mozambique current sings,
My ship will so then fly,
Toward a Madagascar sky.

I'll run her 'cross waves gone lost,
Come from far offshore.
Down such coast no man has seen,
Here nor e'er before.

Songs a'feather bow to weather,
Beneath a silken sky.
Sail down to Cape or 'round,
To adventure now fast bound.

Keel well atop deep reef,
Cold o'night from heat relief.
When Kusi becomes Kaskazi,
Mozambique current sings.

I am so expensive
I am very hard to grow 
I am grown in Madagascar
 that is faraway I know
I am used in sweet and savoury
I am pure, spicy, delicate too
with a peculiar bouquet
Have I given enough clues?.

What am I?

My first is a commercial vehicle of the white kind
My second says that i am sick
My third is a portion of the French expression, OOH la la
My fourth is the name for the water found at the beach 
My fifth is the 4th letter of the alphabet

The answer is 










Vanilla Seed...
