inflate the proportions

Hyena called hyenas
to teach them humility
but a fight broke out

They shouted and fought
other animals laughed loud
many broke their ribs

The Hare told them
Do not wear oversize cloth
Think before you try...

I hate how you hurt her
You with your brains inside out
gray fragile thing.
You look like a grossly oversize
condom
mostly wrung out.
Slap you and hit
make you cry.
Your silence and stare
skin of your bones.
Cry baby, Cry baby
cut open our hearts
and scream yourself in....

I am a  miserable victim
of  regular heart-transplant
the first heart troubled me
the second was oversize
the third is had ten chambers
It emerged to hearts of today
are no longer biological organs
in functional system of life
I do not trust pastors either
priests tell me own things
three rings I have put on
I’ll hire a spy at any fee 
to scribble daily report about
about covert life of my heart...

MRS. DOUBTFIRE

There once was a lady named Doubtfire
Who was known to be a real spitfire
She was a nanny 
Who would spank your fanny
And still be someone to admire


Mrs. Doubtfire was a real fine nanny
Although a little uncanny
She wore funny clothes 
Had a large bulbous nose
And quite an oversize fanny

Nothing so sweet to read
as love letter in ink
it’s official document of deceit

Though packed with lies
clothed in oversize suits
heaped with looted words,
words that may mean nothing
praises that can sit on a good meal
you surely search for a mirror,
lock up yourself in bathroom
to affirm goodness in contents
The smuggled words
tantalize you with truth
that may be as rare
as water in the Sahara...

How happy is the gentle luna!
Does the luna make you shiver?
does it?

An asteroid, however hard it tries,
Will always be huge.
Now vast is just the thing,
To get me wondering if the asteroid is big.

I cannot help but stop and look at the wooly heel.
Does the heel make you shiver?
does it?

I cannot help but stop and look at the big crescent.
Are you upset by how larger it is?
Does it tear you apart to see the crescent so oversize?...

He dashed into shoe-shop;
“I have searched for shoes
All shops have big shoes
But when I eat more food
I will fill in space that is
Comfortably and steadily
I shall move all the way
My head has rare wisdom”

He grabbed despite advice
The shoes were oversize
And when they  hurt him
He filled stones in spaces
And praised his wisdom
As townsmen laughed
But by end of the year
His legs were taken away
To surgeon for amputation
And immediate replacement
With wooden pieces!...
