Limerick of the Kenyan Burglar

There was a chill burglar from Kenya
who, as he worked, listened to Enya.
It lulled him to sleep,
a sleep far too deep.
He woke up where burglars, they send ya.

A Limerick of Kenya

There was a Professor from Kenya
who was hoping to soon make ten-ya.
He studied the past,
but, there, things move fast —
always outrunning that scholar from Kenya.

POEM: Marsh Elephants

fragile herd,
living in the space between
Kilimanjaro’s broad shoulders
[too broad to see without a panning view]
on an oasis of glacial melt
runoff that grows a plume of vivid green
amid the red-brown savannah lands

where dust devils daily form

below the equatorial belt

and when the runoff runs out

there’ll be no time to run
