IN THE FOREST WAS A BEAR

In the forest was a bear
A nectar guzzling grizzly
Some of the bees were angry
bout his embezzling guzzling

“Let’s muzzle him” said fuzzy bee
“Denozzle him” said buzzy bee
“Clog his schnozzle’ said dizzy bee
“end his swizzle” said fizzy bee

“Let’s kick him out”
said frazzled bee
“Tie him up”
said razzled bee
“Oh let’s not”
said boozled bee
“Oh why not”
said frizzled bee

In a sizzling tizzy had the bees
the guzzling fizzing grizzly bear
the bamboozling boozing teddy bear
who was swizzling the honey bees

He didn’t even know
for he was in a daze
and lost in dizzy gobbling
was his dazzled gaze

and then a puzzle

when the bees began to quaff
the honey and fell on and off
the flowers while they listened
to
Mozart and Rachmaninoff

why said Hazel bee they didn’t care
it’s clear there’s enough right there
.. enough said Lizzy bee
for all to share
even for guzzling grizzly bear

(to R Nation)

THEY ALL LOVE YOU

Bees buzz Horsies neigh. Cats meow. Donkeys bray.
Geese honk. Coyotes howl. Froggies croak. Sleepy bears
growl.
Mice squeak Heralds hark. Oceans whisper. Doggies bark.
Lightning crashes Fishie splashes. Ponds bubble. Larks warble.
Lions roar. Rains patter. Elephants trumpet. Monkeys chatter
Brooks babble. Pigeons coo. Ghosties boo. Cowsies moo.
Trees rustle. Thunder rumbles Bums whistle. Grumpy grumbles.
Piggies squeal Sparrows chirp. Pig mommies grunt. Pig daddies burp.
Loons croon. Chickens squawk Tigers grrrr. Kitties purr.
They were all saying, they told me today, ‘ we love you
very much’ in their own special way.

(to Natalie Z K )

DANIEL WAS A VEGETARIAN

Daniel wasn’t harmed
by lions in the den
Because he was
a vegetarian

They didn’t bother
him at all you see
because he didn’t smell
like an enemy.

They knew he wouldn’t
dumb animals beat
they knew he wouldn’t
their babies eat.

The lions asked Danny
for information
and had the following
brief conversation.

“Do omnivores eat omnis?”
said Leo with authority
“Yes and humanitarians
eat humans” said Lucy
empathically
“but what we want to know”
said both the family
is
‘do egalitarians eat eggs or eagles
or maybe even
they eat beagles?’

LITTLE BOY TRIED HIS HEART OUT



The little boy every day for years

tried his heart out..

to please his father..

Nothing was ever good enough.



The more his father rejected

him, the more he clung..

he would rather be in denial

than admit to himself

that his father did not love him.



But one day.. a lightning bolt

came to the heart of his father..

and from that day on

he made amends.



ARMS SO SMALL BEQUEATHING ALL

The little baby boy

stretched out his arms

to the stranger

with a radiant smile

.. saying 'pick me up'



conferring a grace

which made her cry



Arms so small

Bequeathing All



(to E)

CHICKADEE



We watch the flying chickadee

above the sky blue chicory



.. but over here

30,000 chickens

were put through a chipper



(At Ward Egg Farm near San

Diego, workers tired of

strangling the baby male

chicks.. unnecessary

in an operation in which

eggs are stolen..

ran 30,000 chickens

through a chipper)

WHY DO SOME CHILDREN DIE?



A marching band of children

8 or 9.. with beige uniforms

.. and white belts which make

an X across their backs for

their music instruments..

they walk along the sidewalk

and stop at a traffic light..

they continue to play with

their mouths and fingers

as their legs briefly stop..

the music continues..

as when children leave their

bodies .. bombed in war..

their soul music continues

CONTROL FREAK FATHER



The control freak..

in his father had melted away..

Now rather than bothering

him it delighted him

to see

the snow's perfection

swirled

the blankness with

tracks squirreled



2 KEYS



The two.. each

holds a different key

to unlock the treasure

chest.. of the Holy

Grail.. the birth

of their child..

their Love Incarnate..



DAN POLSTER



God bless US District

Judge Dan Polster

whose ethics come not

from pay for play pollsters

.. who has made Ohio

executioners

put their guns

back in their holsters

(if only temporarily.. as the
Madame DeFarges on the court
continue their reign of terror)


MAGGOT



it hurt the worm's

feelings to be

called a maggot

and even when he

metamorphosed

they jeered that

he was not

a butterfly

but 'just a fly'



DROMEDARY



The portable dairy

of the mother dromedary

is it meant for

the baby dromedary



The mother cow..

is her milk for her

calf..

to make him a 1000 lb. animal?



KINDKINGDOM



The cry of a child

confers universal responsibility

.. with its long sceptre

knighting each in the service

of kindkingdom



ALFRED BEETHOVEN



A sweet little pig

Alfred Beethoven

escaped with his life

from the knives of a coven.

Because God made him perfect

with four hooves cloven

he is safe from Muslim

Jewish and some Christian ovens.



PLEASE PICK UP HER GIFT



Please pick up the gift

that the cherry tree

has spent a summer

spinning for you.

She has dropped it in

your lap.



QUIET LIGHT



the most beautiful Christmas lights

we've ever seen

every plant was silently glowing...

no axe stopped any tree's growing

a whole forest had soft quiet lights...

in the stillness of the night





EXPLOITERS OF THE INNOCENT



Goaded are prizefighters and roosters

by human and cockfight boosters.

Children break through masking tape

after an adult pedophile's rape

The needy are manipulated by

ads on tv

always working..

never free to just be......

Relatives of young boys shed tears

sons of the poor: cannon fodder of profiteers

PURPLE FOXGLOVE



hidden from

the hounds

was the fox who jumped

into his sanctuary from above

by clusters

of the purple bells of foxglove

whose beauty was so entrancing

the riders forgot the hunt



(While the people of England

have outlawed any hunt of more

than 2 dogs, certain plutocratic

Virginians continue this cruelty)



CHUBBY HAND



The chubby little hand

of the little boy

.. tenderly cups the head

of the puppy..

..a magic little cup

this hand.. which holds

the liquid of love though

upside down.. pouring

it from endless springs



PEDOPHILE



At what age does the

bloom's plucker

become a pedophile..

scotching the unroll

of the scroll..

of the petals' files



PBA



That Northwestern

MD performed pba's

as easily as a bowler

crushing pins

in the PBA



(PBA: partial birth

abortion

and Professional

Bowlers' Assoc)

(or bowling)



APPLE PEELS



A baby boy squirrel

eats the apple peels

.. turning them round and

round with his tiny hands..

like someone chewing

on a new thought

from all angles.



**

GREENHANDED



Mother Nature,

caught greenhanded

with what she

purloined from

the sun





CHRISTY



What was God's greatest miracle?

to turn the CAT in caterpillar

to the FLY in butterfly?

No.. God's eyes were misty

when God made Christy

for God loved her so





to Greg and Kathleen's Christy



CORPORAL PUNISHMENT SENDS RAGE UNDERGROUND



She told the private

defending the corporal

who abused privates' privates

with punishment corporal

that when she had

been by a  grade school 'teacher'

slapped or beaten

it had only created a rage..

a rage intelligent enough

to go underground

as liquid lava..

it taught her in school



in breaking rules

to be circumspect



TR AND PINOCCHIO



They say that

Pinocchio's nose

when he lies

does grow

but in T's case

the throat constricts

changing the sound

of the voice..

and the eyes dim

. for clouds have

passed over the sun of

truth







ASIAN FEET

AND METRICAL FEET



he thought it wrong

to be bound by a 17

syllable haiku

rule (17 is

the 8 vibration of

mars)

as it was to bind

Asian feet

in tiny shoes

or force an elephant

to stand on a stool

or confine

bonsai

in tiny vases

or put infinite

children

in spirit killing schools



PLAYGROUND SCULPTURE



Children murmur happily

scrambling over the smooth

playground sculpture..

on the frozen thoughtforms

of the past,

a kaleidoscope of unfixed joy.

Nor did teachers worry about

the benedictions of pigeon

droppings

.. the next morning's rain

would them be offing



BUBBLE OVAL



The fearmongers of the past

said that broken mirrors

were bad luck. He knew

that broken mirrors

multiply light

and that their empty oval

frames

can blow big bubbles for

children



ANTELOPE



it doesn't rhyme with

Penelope

.. the famous mobile

antelope

.. instead it rhymes

with the highly prolific

and immobile

vine of cantaloupe



FRAGILITY



In this world fruitflies drown in one drop of dew,

sapling trees are crushed by a single boot, and the hopes of

a child can be dashed by a few words.



SPLIT INFINITIVES



Some worry about split infinitives

while atoms in deserts are split to infinity

and bombs split bones away from infants.



NABOKOV



The same drive beautiful

butterflies to impale

made him write of pedophiles

exploiting the young and frail



PEDOPHILES' TABLES

Mother cows grieve
for not in fragrant groves
but in human bellies are
their infants' graves ..
while their babes' blood curdles
to fat and adrenalin drenched gravy.

They and sheep were separated from their
babies by electric shocking rods...
for those pedophiles who love the taste of baby flesh,
hidden by the term 'veal' or
the open word 'lamb'.

A NEW KWON YIN



Artist, cartoonist,

sailor, driven executive,

psychic chameleon

but most of all

maestro of the hearts of

all children



(to K.A.R)



ABBA'S FINGERS



Abba's green fingers

clasp and calyx

blackberries and orange

squash and tomatoes

vined

until they are ripe

for release.

So too He gives

more attention to younger

souls



IT IS ALL ONE



There are no lines in the sea

to say what belongs to you or me

Nor fences in the air to keep

birds from flying

between France and Germany.

WHY DO SOME CHILDREN DIE







-saiom shriver-

Footnote:
Daniel 1 in scripture
says Daniel was not
harmed by lions in
the den. He was
vegetarian.
Genesis 1:29

Writing in a British
magazine a rabbi
spoke of the cruelties
of bee production..
sometimes the queen
bee’s wings are clipped
to confine her.
Many bees are smashed
as the racks are pulled in
and out. Sometimes
whole hives are
destroyed in the winter
rather than allow
them to eat their own
honey.
Leonardo Da Vinci
did not eat honey..
he considered it theft
from the bees.
