Statuesque [Haiku]
Mongeese? [Free Verse]
Mongooses or Mongeese?
My Jamaican friend says,
"It's GEESE, mahn!"
But I can't tell whether that's
a Mon-guess [or a guess, mahn!]
I'd prefer a non-guess
on the mongoose's gees-i-ness,
lest I develop lexical queasiness.
It seems like it should be mongeese,
because "mongoose" is very
much like "goose."
[As my Jamaican friend would say,
"It's jus wit the 'Mon,' mahn!"]
On the other hand, a mongoose
don't look like no goose I've
ever seen.

Skink Limerick
The reptile known as the Five-Lined Skink is silent, but not as covert as you'd think. From the front end it blends, but its bright blue back end catches the eye no matter how slowly it slinks.
