unassumingly flawless …
murderess clearly

The she-wolf was prettily dressed,
Looked human in her human-clothes
None of the jurors could have guessed,
Unless they had her she-wolf nose.
Looking unassumingly sweet,
The she-wolf was prettily dressed.
Crisp, calm and surprisingly neat,
Natural tendencies repressed,
I think she’s guilty one expressed.
Other jurors fell off their chairs.
The she-wolf was prettily dressed.
She met them calmly with her stares.
Clutching their sides in laughing glee,
Laughing hard at the juror’s jest,
She’s as guilty as you and me!
The she-wolf was prettily dressed.

I feel at liberty having you here,
Sitting unassumingly,
In the corner of my lounge.
Free to cavort naked as my mother bore me,
While you remain firm and sure,
Spurning your chances to,
Remark upon my togs.
Your bare coat at no time results,
In you objecting, should I open a window or two?
You never shudder or tremble.
Sometimes I hear you brush,
Tacitly, against my restful sage lounge walls.
Never do you interrupt as I prattle,
On and on and on and on,
About frivolous issues.
I furnish you with drink,
As you, tender the finishing touches to my parlour.

Autumn is not technically here
But it has arrived nonetheless
With brown crisp maple leaves and their
Imagined conspicuousness.
Each with its own conformation:
Some taking forms of tortoises
As they swirled downward in the sun;
Others twirled like ballerinas
In a sleeping beauty ballet.
Most fell unassumingly down
Nevertheless, quite a display
For a mere poet on the ground
This Monday morning unrehearsed
Depicted in a poets verse.
