And I've wondered ever since
Just how many frogs must I kiss
Before I find my prince?

and then
with his second thought
he realized the answer…

Who spent her days digging a ditch
We wondered why
The well went dry
But her critics all found their niche

Images

Lamb left a litter,
Behind blobbing bumps.
Water went wetter,
Next to a naughty nest,
Where waves have wondered,
How heaves haunt...

And I wondered in fact:
How does one have eyes like that?
Till I told myself, "She robbed the cat"

then wondered from town to town.
in her lace frock frilly,

and never once wore a frown.

When I glanced in the mirror a minute

in the soft spring breeze,
she wondered if she could fly,
she went to the top of the house
and jumped.

TAILS

Under new moon,
Empowered fox
Devoured cow,
Wondered how,
Chewed hen,
Booed men,
Jumped on box,
Under new moon:
Werefox.

It didn't just stop to say "Hi!"
It said "Give me a treat"
From under it's sheet
But I wondered . . . was it a girl or a guy?
