Wildebeest
There's no gnus
like no gnus
if you're a gnu
who likes no gnus
but if you're lonely
and agnother gnu
you'd like to see
as two gnu's company

altho' it may
seem absurd
no less than
three's a herd

My Missing Piece
Searching outside of myself
Far and wide
Looking into the eyes and souls of others
Seeking answers
Looking for my missing part
Always sensing an absence
Awakening one day with tears in my eyes
A complete realization
I had found my missing piece
Or rather
My missing piece had found me
Silent warm tears streamed down my cheeks
An inner heat grew in my belly
My

Wildebeest
It’s a beautiful landscape of Serengeti animal refuge,
Near a parched savannah with skeleton trees, lies a water hole,
You see a beautiful picture of animal kingdom paradise,
Elephants, zebras, Giraffes, birds, and blue wildebeests, all taking a sip.
With the sky overcast with roaming grey clouds,
The receding grass land looks yellow and dry,
Wildebeests crowd the waterhole, as elephants

The Wildebeest
He was dark and handsome, a mystery to most
The black forest thought of him as a gentle ghost
Resembling a wolf, his howls went on for hours
He had conflicting ways, and unique wizardly powers
We held back in the shadows, fearing the beast
He was dressed in fine clothes, silk in the least
He drew back his head and

A Giraffe, An Okapi and a Wildebeest
A giraffe, an Okapi and a blue wildebeest
Walked into a bar hoping to have an horde ‘ore feast
A bongo, an Asian water buffalo came in too.
I’ve decided to sneak out. How about you?

Pirate Woman Outfoxes Wildebeest
Woman Pirate hit a tiny snag
Wildebeest boyfriend was a drag.
He made her walk the plank.
Ship was caught in a current’s crag.
So she picked up a dirty rag.
Gave him a little spank.
Wildebeest snapped at her full force.
roaring with his great mouth of course.
she was smart and stepped aside.
I frankly cannot tell my source
But she came out

Grabbed Hold of Wildebeest's Tail
Grabbed hold of Wildebeest’s tail
Punctured it on a rusty nail
Big loud tetanus shot
Apologized through the mail
Afraid of beast by his wail
He was pretty hot

Yearly Assault On the Grasslands
Grasslands felt them a week early,
Knew they were coming,
Heard them from many days off.
Not in a hearing way, more of a spiritual knowing.
Grasslands had keen eyes, and strong feelings,
And a magnificent vibration sensation, that felt things way ahead.
She prepared herself for their assault, it came every year.
The air was pregnant with the thought of

Wildebeest Love Sex
So wildebeest must have a lot of time on their hoofs
If you've seen a herd, you'll know they've found the nook
They surely enjoy sex
Females always say yes
Male asks “gnu”? And the task is undertook!

African Savanna Cheetah Vs the Wildebeest
I FEAST MY EYES UPON A HEARD.
I LAY AND WAIT WITHOUT A WORD.
SLOWLY, SLOWLY, I MADE MY WAY.
THE WILDEBEEST WILL BE MY PREY.
I SELECTED A FEW, AND THEN DOWN TO ONE.
LEAPED INTO ACTION AND STARTED TO RUN.
I SHORTENED MY DISTANCE WITH EVERY STRIDE.
IT TRIED TO ESCAPE BY GOING WIDE.
I ADJUSTED MY SPEED AND CHANGED MY

Cry of the Wildebeest
He played the part he knew so well
(the juggling acts, the ringing bells)
The smile he smeared across his face
(another act, to hide disgrace)
His laughter hid behind the sun
(just a prank, was all in fun)
He boarded on a west bound train
(rode by coach, he crossed the plains)
He disembarked as the sun set
(stretched out his arms, his
