Nanook Of The North

When not out clubbing
hey-ho the merry oh
at night with the Inuit
I suspect by intuit
an intrepid Inuk named Nanook
a-hunting walrus he would go
with his trusty harpoon
traipsing 'cross the ice and snow
then when paddling afloat he went
in the harsh Arctic environment
to keep out the bitter cold and damp
in the very bottom of his boat
there was a fiery

walrus tusks

Walrus tusks are longer than I thought
Length of a yardstick, new and store bought
Females' tusks are much longer; they serve as teeth
Sharper than a copper dagger in a leather sheaf

My choice MSNBC the only one I tolerate

Walrus Thought

There is no beached whale
though a walrus protecting the sea
Whom will attack anyone
invading his territory.
Capsizing boats or kayaks then
killing many aboard
Causing serious harm and tusks
with dominance they've roared.
Ahh the walrus-stay clear from
If you see one on the shore
Run away without delay
Don't stand there to explore.
Respect them from a distance
at home behind a screen,
Though they are

A String Shot Back Like a Walrus Attack

Go
Wherever you want to
There’s nothing I can do
Still I hope
It’s you heading back to me
That’s what I’d like to see
I wouldn’t mind

I wish
I could know
Just what was next 
To come

I live
In this fantasy of hope
That things go
Just the way I want them to

If I could be
So blessed they would
And if I
Should let this go
It’d hurt

Walrus

I'll be kissing you
In our canoodlers' canoe
Paddlin' 'round the walrus tank
At the Tacoma Zoo.

Walrus

The Walrus, he is an ugly brute, 
Made entirely out of rubber, 
Lounging on the shore all day, 
Like discarded old whale blubber.
 
Sea Lion on the other hand, 
Is arguably, I think quite cute, 
Gliding along the beach at play, 
In his slick grey leather suit.

Walrus and I


       Enlighten me please 
     why windows are solid
           yet transparent

Why the moon shines even as
     the sun's rise envelopes

So then Lion played on
    (though his five iron was gone)

'Cause he had lost it in the 'attack',

Epilogue To Walrus and Carpenter

I

4:forty 4 in the a.m. scene
   and I had been awakened by 
          the strangest of dreams:

     of an overdressed Lion,
