One day the citizens of a
Small town were shocked
To find a bright yellow
Submarine lying on Main
Street. It just appeared
Overnight, full size, water
Dripping from it. Downtown
Shops were sure their
Businesses were going to
Take a nose dive.

Monkey Ship
When we were kids we
Used to go to the zoo
And look at the animals.
One of our favorites
Was a boat in the center
Of a pool of water. It
Must have had fifteen
Monkeys on board,
Probably wishing they
Knew how to swim.
The Man in the Moon
One night the earth and moon
Were having a talk. The earth
Asked the moon why he looked
So surprised. The moon replied,
If you saw what I saw you would
Be surprised too!
Rebirth
Seems like we are stuck in
A rut and will never get
Out of our dreary life. We
Think things will be the
Same forever. But one
Day a revelation hits us
Out of the blue that
Rebirth is possible for
Everyone.
Unexpected
I don’t know why it happens,
But out of the blue
Life slaps me in the face
With a wet tamale,
And it all comes back to me,
Even your look.
