Little parrot

what are you doing? 
doing! doing!
stop that, you.
you! you!
if you're not in bed by the count of three
... ... ...
but all I see
is a little barefoot parrot
laughing back at me.

Cute Spider

Spiders are not insects

Spiders have eight legs.

Spiders have four pairs of eyes

Spiders hatch from eggs!

Spider webs are stick

Spiders weave them tight

Spiders spin that silky string

Spiders weave webs right!

Spider, Spider

Spider hurrying,

Spider scurrying,

See her silken thread.

Spider hurrying,

Spider scurrying,

See her little web.

Spider Webs

The spider weaves a sticky web

To capture bugs to eat.

What keeps the spider's sticky web

From sticking to her feet?

Spider webs are very tricky

Because not all the strands are sticky.

Unlike the passing hapless fly,

The spider knows which strands are dry.

But if she accidentally stands

Upon one of the sticky strands,

She still would not get stuck, you see--

Her oily body slides off free.

The Ostrich

The ostrich is a silly bird, 

  With scarcely any mind. 

He often runs so very fast, 

  He leaves himself behind.

And when he gets there, has to stand 

  And hang about till night, 

Without a blessed thing to do 

  Until he comes in sight.

THE STARFISH

Once upon a time there was a wise man

who used to go to the ocean

to do his writing.

He had a habit of walking

on the beach

before he began his work.

One day he was walking along

the shore.

As he looked down the beach,

he saw a human

figure moving like a dancer.

He smiled to himself to think

of someone who would

dance to the day.

So he began to walk faster

to catch up.

As he got closer, he saw

that it was a young man

and the young man wasn't dancing,

but instead he was reaching

down to the shore,

picking up something

and very gently throwing it

into the ocean.

As he got closer he called out,

"Good morning! What are you doing?"

The young man paused,

looked up and replied,

"Throwing starfish in the ocean."

"I guess I should have asked,

why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?"

"The sun is up and the tide is going out.

And if I don't throw them in they'll die."

"But, young man, don't you realize that

there are miles and miles of beach

and starfish all along it.

You can't possibly make a difference!"

The young man listened politely.

Then bent down, picked up another starfish

and threw it into the sea,

past the breaking waves and said-

"It made a difference for that one."

Kangaroo To The Rescue

A young cyclist called Jimmy Pike,

Famous for riding his cross-country bike,
Hit an echidna, his tire went flat,

I think he might have to hitch-hike.
Stopping his long trek,there he sat,

 A kangaroo came jumping strong,

" A wayward echidna with bad eyesight,
Paused, then asked, "What is wrong?" 
got in the way and stopped my bike,"

Now the pair are bouncing along.

Monkey in a tree

I am a monkey sat way up in a tree,

Looking down on humanity.

You wish you could climb up here and be as high as me;

But you have evolved so much, you’ve begun to decrease.

Cute Cheetah

Within the fields of grace
and moving waltzing wheat fields
moves the spotted feline with pace
black tears run down its face and yields
to the sun's tangerine gaze

The rythmic thomping of paws through grass
with undivided focus so clear
every step as fragile as glass
sounds perilous behind this feeble deer

Colossal strides that fly through air
pefected anatomy claws down its goal
rules of nature have never been fair
but one must know the key is survival
this deer now knows its fatal fate
is nature's gift to the cheetah's plate.

I met a deer

I met a deer

I met a deer a big brown deer.

We met in the dark. 

Not as friends just a run of the mill meeting.

I had to stop but it was too late 

I guess a car at 65 would not make a good friend of a deer.

The meeting was over and the deer was dead.

So stay out of my way. I like deer meat.

Cute baby panda

I want to be the panda protected

nothing to fear the last of my breed

I eat my heart content the bamboo leaves

of the forest preserved for me and my sibling

no agenda gave me a few more years to disappear

and stay a porcelain in your boudoir.

I Have a Little Frog

I have a little frog

His name is Tiny Tim,

I put him in the bathtub,

To see if he could swim,

He drank up all the water,

And gobbled up the soap!

And when he tried to talk

He had a BUBBLE in his throat!

Pink flamingo

From my window,

in corner of an eye,

see a pink flamingo.

Broad curves, 

into familiar shape,

grounded legs, 

Iron weighted.

Been there

for years,

quietly sitting,

amongst roses.

Pushed by storms,

changing winds,

yet surprising,

inner strength.

Retains balance,

keeps small piece,

staked out,

of much larger plot.

Slowly losing,

it's distinctive hues.

Dissolving,

fuchsia to palest pink.

Every family

has their own,

pale pink flamingo

Swan

Like a dry autumn

Leaf

Flying place to place

Making home

Anywhere

Or like a gypsy

Roaming the earth

Deserts

Cities

Forests

Following the

Stars or

The fortune

Content at any change

I wish you my Heart

You were a leaf

Or a gypsy

A wandering spirit

A nomad

Vagabond

But you of all

Chose to be

A Swan

Daddy's Little Angel

When you were born you filled my heart with pride,

And I was overcome by the joy I felt inside.

As I held you in my arms that very first day,

I knew I would never let any harm come your way.

With your tiny little hands and tiny little feet,

Every time I look at you my heart skips a beat.

As I watch you sleep in the middle of the night,

I hope and pray I will do everything right.

I know I may make some mistakes along the way,

But I promise to do my best not to every single day.

I often wonder what you will grow up to be,

But whatever you become will be fine with me.

So whatever you may decide to do in your life,

Maybe an astronaut, a lawyer, or even a doctor's wife.

I can say this without any doubt at all,

I will always be there to catch you if you fall.

And another promise I make to you from me,

Daddy's little angel you will always be.

Fox Dreams

she springs out like lightning
from her dark den.
her wet black nose
sniffs the air for mischief.
her tall pointy ears
hears a pack of hounds.
she goes into survival mode.
she wanders around the forest
setting her stench to the west
on the other side of the creek
this red fox stares in disbelief.
the huntsmen fixes his wounded dog
but once he sees this escape artist
this fox eyes begin to water.
all she ever wanted was to be
the Huntsmen's one and only pal
as he stabs this fox in the back for fur.

The Anteater

I’m a little Anteater
Bored with what I eat
I never get delicious stuff
Like a chocolate treat
I eat the same thing every day
You really ought to try it
Cos all I ever seem to get
Is ants in every diet?

I’d like to nibble on some bread
Or lovely potted beef
But nothing that is chewy
Cos I don’t have any teef
If I had a sirloin steak
I think I would deep fry it
But all I ever seem to get
Is ants in every diet?

I could have spaghetti
Even though it’s very long
I wouldn’t use a fork or spoon
I’ve got a sticky tongue
My taste buds though are limited
I really can’t deny it
So I guess I’ll always eat
Ants with every diet!

Funny Looking Squirrels

 

When I went to the park today
I heard the birds singing
and the water moving-
ever so softly against the wind.
The squirrels, 
their erratic tails and fur
bounded across trees and 
ate nuts as they stared 
at the funny looking squirrels below them.
The ones with the shorts and the shirts on,
and the ones with the long hair colored so strangely.
Those squirrels didn’t quite look like squirrels at all.
They drove strange boats and paddled in the water,
and a couple of those strange squirrels
seemed to have large furry companions
that definitely didn’t look like squirrels. 
And yet whenever they come near 
they act like they know the squirrels
they take photos and videos
and make memes, funny pictures
and snapchat videos of them.
But they aren’t.
They aren’t squirrels at all.
They’re humans, 
yet some think they are squirrels.

Baby Seal

See how he dives
From the rocks with a zoom!
See how he darts
Through his watery room
Past crabs and eels
And green seaweed,
Past fluffs of sandy
Minnow feed!
See how he swims
With a swerve and a twist,
A flip of the flipper,
A flick of the wrist!
Quicksilver-quick,
Softer than spray,
Down he plunges
And sweeps away;
Before you can think,
Before you can utter
Words like "Dill pickle"
Or "Apple butter,"
Back up he swims
Past Sting Ray and Shark,
Out with a zoom,
A whoop, a bark;
Before you can say
Whatever you wish,
He plops at your side
With a mouthful of fish!
