there are nests built on poles of jack pine
where they suit mama ospreys just fine;
when their eggs start to hatch,
news is quickly dispatched
to their friends via telephone line.

There was a young turtle named Guy
Who didn’t climb logs to stay dry;
He’d perch on a log
Sticking out of the bog
Cuz he liked to pretend he could fly!

When I spotted a six-legged deer,
I admit that I started to fear
I was titched in the head,
Till the deer calmly said,
“Relax, man, there’s two of us here.”

Don’t drive on the new snow, they said,
So I walked for my safety instead,
But the slippery ground
Spun completely around,
And it walloped me upside the head.
Limerick 22
I was out in the yard at my place,
When I looked up and saw my mom’s face;
Now, I know that she’s gone,
And I’m sure she’s moved on,
But I mowed the whole lawn just in case.

A neighborhood squirrel named Jack
Does a dance in the street for a snack
And when people ask why,
All we say in reply
Is an acorn’s a tough nut to crack.

I thought that I knew what now meant,
Till I used it to date an event;
Now my lingering friends
Claim that now never ends
But the now that I meant came and went!

they say that it’s spring here today
so I hurried outside just to play
and I ran all around
but was quickly worn down
as I shoveled a path all the way

be one with your shovel, they said,
and i was, ’til the plow turned my head,
and I thought he’d go ’round
if i just stood my ground,
now i’m one with the snowbank instead

this morning the sun is so bright
that it’s flooding my household with light
but out in the snow
it’s still forty below
too bad it’s all bark and no bite
