Harlan Simantel Poems

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.
...

Dear Miss Guenivere Glopp,
Into your soup
A fly did plop.
And silly you!
