Just so you know that I can drag myself away from certain subjects and indulge in some silly verse for kids ….
Here’s one I mashed out for Esther
The animals all gathered
For the party of the year
Though what they had in common
Not exactly clear
Coyote doing backstroke
Wearing lycra in the pool
Giraffe is sipping lemonade
Goat just acts the fool
Zebra seeing therapist
Monkey is to blame
Can’t see seem to see things black and white
Tiger is the same
The vacuum jammed with bubble wrap
And bits of Horse’s mane
And Aardvark in a quandary
Did I misspell his name?
