Harlan Simantel Poems

tippy and tawny
two cat friends
brother and sister cat
friendship is where it's at
...

humor on high
how we get by
from day to day
God made us this hilarious way
...

joseph had a dream
his brothers jealous
devised a scheme
...

cleanliness comes after dirtiness
but dirty hands get the work done
sometimes difficult, sometimes fun
...

It's up to you -
what you do.
Dreams come true,
but it's up to you.
...

When I was haying
with a crew in summertime
I saw a red fox
streaking across a pale ochre field,
...

God, make me efficient
well spent
useful - yet fun-full
with time for kindness and love
...

it starts with sperm and egg
in all the mammals He made
a liquid semen mess
who would guess
...

symbiosis
is a science term
but as applies to us
it still holds firm
...

Life half over,
What's it about?
Why am I here?
I have my doubts.
...
