Nine Teal Ducklings



nine teal ducklings i once knew
feathery, fluffily they made their debut
and whenever their food is spread on the tray
their tiny little beaks go tud tud away

nine teal ducklings went out to play one day
on an orange buggy far away
down the river they go splash splash splash
occasionally with a sudden feathery dash

nine teal ducklings then settled to bed
tucked in a warm comfy straw bedspread
as the wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble start to ease
taken over by the million stars that go blink blink blink

Goodbye Snow

a silent melody dedicated to Snow



who lives in all of us
the squirrel who stood out almost instantly
ever chewing onto the nuts
at 23 30 still i'd alway say
goodbye and goodnight
before i part and leave u
resting soon in your plywood hut

and rest of the squirrel buddies
who will continue gliding for you
(and smacking people's heads)

A button of you
will be kept with me.
Thank you, Snow.
