a long-legged colt from fort worth

complained at the time of his birth

that there wasn’t much room

for his legs in the womb–

and i’m sure that his mother concurred

the young bearded dragon named mel

thinks his beard makes him macho as hell,

but it seems a bit weird

to think that of a beard

when your lady friend has one as well

similes

well, i ate like a hog

and swelled up like a tick;

now i’m sick as a dog

and as fat as a pig,

but i’m wise as an owl,

so i’ll lie like a rug,

and sleep like a baby–

as snug as a bug

Thanksgiving on the River

Today is a day

About giving thanks–

Up to the imaginary line

Running down the middle

Of the frozen river.

Beyond that line,

It’s aboot something else.

Animal Talk

“Did you bring the wrenches, apeman?”

“We’re not so different, you and I.”

“I said to take a little off the top!”

“If you don’t settle down back there, I’ll turn around right now!”

Limerick 42

A vixen from outside Fort Knox,

Found her marriage to be on the rocks,

But she would recover

And find a new lover,

For after all, she was a fox.

Shot of the Day 2/21/22

She was trying to cheer up

Her friend across the table,

But the others got jealous,

Glances were exchanged,

And a brief scuffle ensued.

She became so incensed,

She turned her back to them,

And there they sat in silence.

It grew cold between them

And soon they drifted apart.

Obviously.

Squealer, the Red Squirrel

O blabbermouth squirrel

I come to your world

For wildlife photos,

But you won’t have that;

Your chatter, in essence,

Announces my presence–

They say you’re a rodent,

And I smell a rat.
