At three in a night
                                            Heard a crackling of my gate

Wildlife 16
A well groomed and furry mongoose,
Was often thought rather obtuse,
He was quick on his legs,
And was partial to eggs,
Which was why all his motions were loose!...

There was a mongoose by a lake,
Who vowed, ‘No more cookies and cake.’
And he later confessed,
(If you haven’t all guessed):
‘…because it’s the year of the snake…’

United Kingdom
running behind in the tall grass
like a mongoose slithering for a cobra
The untested came into the care homes
No mind
we've battered down the hatches
We should be normal
Back to normal soon...

cats and dogs
run and play
together
as eagles and mice
nibble
side by side
the snake and mongoose
waltz
eye to eye—
humankind slams
peace
back and forth
across stretched nets
of time
in pursuit of power
scores—...

Bring in a mongoose
to kill that predator snake
who ate that poor mouse.

He's small, but vicious.
The snake doesn't have a chance
when the mongoose strikes.

Inspired by a couple of senryu poems submitted by Caren Krutsinger

Dusk settled on light green trees
Timid mongoose peeped
Padded feet in the alley
Cool breeze thru leaves seeped
 It started to feast
On old canned fish and stale meat
Stars twinkles in east

We look like weasels
But we are related to cats
Let’s do the mongoose cha cha and shake our fats!
Rata Tat Tat, Rata Tat Tat!

We like our meat
But will also eat insects and plants
We bring up our kits together
in a colony where we’ll be eating ants....

Cobra
                 venomous, dangerous, 
           slithering, hissing, injecting
            striking the prey, killing the cobra
                 protecting, fighting, attacking
                    remarkable, friendly,
                            Mongoose...

If one mongoose is called a mongoose

   Then can't we conclusively deduce

      That two could be called mongeese

         'Twould make a great discourse piece

            Unless ye be dreadfully obtuse

M-ongoose fights cobra, 
A-iming to kill the fierce snake, 
E-ating the latter.

R-odent runs away, 
E-vading the smart mongoose, 
Y-et rat is consumed, 
E-ven the earthworms and birds
S-eem to be afraid of him.

A weasel has three words to sell
                                “Mongoose says that “he has to tell
                                   The People buy the weasel word
                                     In the hope of killing the bird
                                  And the cats of neighbors as well...

10/24/2023?




I had a most unique, unusual dream!
I woke, wide-eyed and there they stood!
Five meerkats, so darling, not made of cedar wood.



Of the notorious, great mongoose family are they.
Rodent eaters, and plants, by moonlight and day.
Traveling in packs of ten or more, to hunt and to play!...

Poetry ain't words dribbled out on the fly, 
It's execution, prostitution of the me who am I.
lettin loose my mongoose of thought provoking, while others be chokin,
gettin all Seuss you just some cat in a hat, 
Philosophies of Socrates rap your brain around dat,
Don't let dem big words confuse you, this all precludes you, from being 100, thats where you blundered.

WANTED:
Mongoose!

I need to borrow a mongoose!
I'm tired of this snake in my house!
And turn that little rascal loose
On every lizzard, snake, and mouse!

No--wait! Not the lizard. He's fine.
But that snake--need to cook his goose!
He could stay--OUTSIDE--INSIDE's mine!
Nope! There he is! Still on the loose!

               SNAKE

              WANTED:
          A MONGOOSE
        TO  GET  RID  OF

"Haiku Ju - Nature's Foes"


                                snake meets the mongoose
                                two enemies in nature
                                timely death battle 


                                fire meets with water
                                two of the five elements
                                death in an instant

Television vomits privacies
nauseous they are to me
but fans, parents, money-makers
swallow them with no shame

Television show men delete men
boiled hearts they carry all the way
tricksters show mongoose-ness
society the chicken they snatch

Television narrates impossible tales
that humans are gods in action
Believe and try what you see
your heart and body bid you farewell

Television lies and hides that it educates
yet youth  are fields for hay.  I say nay...
