I am a tiger in a cage
Get me some catnip
Or feel my rage

Tiger in a Cage

Bike
If like Boris you ride a bike
Keep your social distance
Or better still hike

Tellall
Tellall – malevolent spirit – he
Oft unsuspecting is his devotee
As in gender-reveal mishaps – Tellall takes glee

Scarecrow
———————————–
The scarecrow in my garden – Birds ignore the thing
But unwanted visitors and salesmen
My doorbell seldom ring

Pet

The launderette had a pet – a python large was she
It was amazing where – when she did appear –
The places the customers would quickly flee

On A Morning Breeze

Aroma thick on a morning breeze
The sunshine welcomed in lavender rows
Sun’s warmth, deep purple blooms, and the scent all my senses please

Distraction

A jig and a hornpipe – Morale to restore
Diversions plain and simple – really nothing more
To distract a crew impatient – from running off to shore

Afterthoughts

It was an awesome idea,
Would show “he’s the man,”
That was before his skateboard fell in the can.

With Toddler-Toes

Yellow duckies in the bath
Innocent pleasure – with toddler-toes to guide you
Amid pink turtles – along your bubbled path

Nocturnal Bridges

What adventures await us in our dreams?
As in nocturnal slumbers we bridge our way
From past yesterdays to the new today
