In a green paddock a bull
Was busily eating till full
Grazed down to the dust
He was ready to bust
And fell upside down in the pool

A dragonfly pounced on a blonde
of whom he stayed overly fond,
and soon those two creatures
exhibited features
that caused all my tripe to abscond.

A dragonfly flew over a pond
Of a lovely green frog it was fond
To the frog it was food
He, when in the mood,
Sent it to the great, great beyond.

Though bees ought to bumble a lot,
they manage to bumble no jot
but rather to hover
as if to discover
each secret of dash and of dot.

Contemplate your average bee
No flying thing could you see
Less aerodynamically sound
Yet this creature has found
A way it can fly wild & free.

Five moths on some shelf found a book
and sensed that its pages might look
divine on a platter
made fatter and fatter
by Nature >> a rather fine cook.

Two butterflies out on a ranch
Met on an olive tree branch
They greeted each other
Like sister and brother
And promised that they would be stanch.

A bottle washed up on some shore
and seemingly brimmed with rich lore
concerning devotion
to very fine lotion
ingeniousness had to adore.

A glass bottle empty of lotion
Was found floating out on the ocean
Inside was a note
But the person who wrote
Penned with substance that faded with motion

Trapezes and sneezes and phrases
combine to perform like bright phases
whose motions can't help
but seem to rewhelp
a glass that incessantly gazes.

'Tis true words at times fall flat
Even the best need to work at
But make no mistake
Natures no fake
Balance it out, with a tit for a tat

Opthomologist confirmed qualities of bat:)

There once was a man on a trapeze
Who felt like he was about to sneeze
While doing a flip
He almost did trip
And landed safely on to his knees

~David Fox

A man who could barely survive
woke up to my infinite jive,
consisting of phrases
which slip through stark phases
implying that worlds don't arrive.

A poor man with one set of clothes
One morning in winter arose
To find that his cat
Had torn even that
So all of his assets just froze.

ABSTRACTNESS
Abstractness clearly
merits much mentioning now
among clairvoyants.

ABSTRACTNESS [II]
Abstractness awoke
some negative photograph
into warm digits.

A bat in some cave was a bat
whose SONAR -- or, something like that --
permitted much flying
that often kept buying
the vision of Nature as >> "flat."

A bat in a belfry took fright
When the big bell was rung in the night
The tower was on fire
The danger was dire
It set the poor bat's wings alight.

As kittens may turn into cats
that capably chase mice and rats,
so your and my scratching
has methods for hatching
bright belfries chock-full of bright bats.

Kittens are furry and sweet
To own a wee kit is a treat
But they have sharp claws
That can create flaws
In your important visitor's seat.

YOU'RE WELCOME, Dear **Eunice** -- my KITTEN,
with whom I'm eternally smitten,
and whose sharp, sweet paws
may proffer no clause
that causes one part sadly bitten.

Thank you, Bruce....I think


A kitten with oversized paws
Was damaging chairs with its claws
With damage discovered
And seating re-covered
This mad cat was kept out of doors.

A donkey well stung can seem bright
despite any kickable plight,
and bees in our bonnet
resemble some sonnet,
though autos must sound harshly trite.

A song that's well sung's a delight;
A painting well done's quite a sight;
But --- an am/a/ture mess
I have to confess
Will give me bad dreams in the night.

When met by the tastes of ice cream,
beware -- lest those manage to seem
entirely too chilly
to freeze you unsilly
while asking your innards to beam.

When tasting a lovely hot pie
Beware it could squirt in your eye
It's wonderful fare
But eat it with care
For if it should burn you would cry.
