Poem Number 202
A Single Oak Becomes a Joke


Commentary:
a single oak
on an amber hill waits
with urgent leaves
the soft caress
of an ocean breeze

festooned as gallivant
the rooster struts unerring steps
pigeon-toed and trips
but not a word escapes
his lips


roosters have no lips
for beaks adorn their mouths
and green grass is grazed
on sunny days
by carnivorous cows


cows don’t eat meat
they ruminate
grass and hay they eat all day
while farmers plough
and dogs meow

dogs don’t meow
they growl and bark
chasing pigeons in the park
pooping the whole playground up
then their owners scoop it up

dog owners don’t scoop it up
they leave it there
they like to share
so children play and step in it
and parents have to clean the shit

parents DO clean shit

{end of poem}
