Dragonfly Eye [Lyric Poem]
The dragonfly strafing lilies
doesn't know how very silly
a bantam taller than a ram
seems to a ram tall as a filly.

the roosters crow all day.
Hopes of mid-day napping
are dashed along the way.

buried in muddy banks;
a lonely bird flies.

River Taco [Lyric Poem]
We kayak where lives Hippopotamus,
And hope it isn't submerged, a-bottom us.
With kayak a quite crunchy hard shell --
Us: savory filling that screams and yells, --
We'll be a three-bite river taco to hell.
