If indeed you must be candid,
Be candid beautifully,
Otherwise keep silent, for there
Is a man in our neighborhood
Who is dying.

Silence
If indeed you must be candid,
Be candid beautifully, otherwise
Keep silent for there is a man
In our neighborhood who is
Dying.
The Peacock
Out of nowhere a beautiful
Peacock showed up in our
Quiet little neighborhood.
It struts around with its
Rainbow of feathers all
Spread out. It has this call
That sounds like someone’s
Being murdered. It won’t
Let anybody near–it might
Chase them anyway.
Dogs and Cats
There was a dog and a
Cat that were two
Best friends. They did
Everything together
And even slept together.
One day the cat strayed
Off and the dog went
Wild with panic. The
Dog searched all over
The neighborhood.
Sad, the dog went back
To where they slept,
And there the cat was.
