How snug

how snug…

a bare
bear hug

Her butterflies

the fresh smell
of springs’ air
rosy cheeks
her skin so fair
she seeks
a naughty boy
who wants him
for her butterflies
and a bit of joy

all the while
her precious
innocent smile
and insecure
female stance
wants to control
her butterflies
before they start
to dance…

Slug trail

the mark
the trail
the path
it took
to stain
my glass
with slime
Sublime!

Do not rattle my cage

“pet me little one,
but do not rattle my cage”
said the lion at the zoo

or I may eat you up
and turn you
into poo

More flies

more flies
fly in
than they do out

they must like head butting windows
what’s that
all about?

Crackhead

With pets

with pets
comes joy
and bills
for vets
unconditional love
hair
and puke
but certainly no regrets

Your bark

your bark
is not as bad as mine
said the maple
to the dog

so please
don’t urinate on me
or I may end up
like a log

I stick my neck out

I stick
my neck out
for you
said the giraffe
to the mouse

but I can’t see
no cheese
no skirting board
and I don’t see
no house

I want to be your personal penguin. Please?

Say cheese!

Say cheese!
said the girl
to the parrot

and the parrot said:
Say cheese!

A wasp 🐝

a wasp
can’t help
being a wasp

and neither can Sting

Snitch

do not come
to my house
I said to the mouse
as you snitched
on my cat
you dirty rat…

Party animal

A short story on the perseverance of a slug

a little effort
goes a long way
when you crawl
from New York
to LA

Selfish

Most people

most people
are
mostly people

but for a few,
the animals
that I knew…

Stuck on you

I’m stuck on you
said Remora to the shark

I will follow you
into the deep
and in the dark

Escape from Eggcatraz
