Morning stumbled out of bed;
Stubbed his toe and hit his head;
Afternoon yelled out for help
While evening hid among the kelp;
The day in fragments falls apart
It must begin around the start
And 'tinue forward from the dawn
Till evening surrounds us on the lawn.
So long away
But back today
From cutting knives
And hacking saws
Learned to walk
Could always talk
Happy to return.
Grizzened Gary
Guzzled gravy
While chopping up the roast;
Toasted Joann
Drove the sedan
Stressing her mid-western roots;
While addled Albert
Found poor Herbert
Diced up like a sherbet;
And after dinner
No one slept
For fear of wandering Al.
Happy hippos
Harvest hamsters
Shining in the sea
While wily bow whale
Whistle to magpies
Charming them out of the sky
To feed to hamsters
Dining with hippos
After the sunset
Down under the sea
