Ima Ryma Poems

A bush baby baby am I,
Bouncing 'neath the baobob tree.
Not sure I'm a gal or guy,
But Lincoln Park Zoo's home to me.

1800's - no womens' lib,
So New York City's Murray Hall
Began to tell a little fib,
'Twas just politics after all.

To choose a winner of two folk.
Pick a gesture that wins - the aim.
Pick scissors and two fingers poke.

Gun laws - Chicago's got a load,
And we're always whining for more.
But for years, statistics have showed
Law enforcement is very poor.

The Slender Man from the mindset
Of Web weavers who weave a guy,
Slender, tall and faceless who met
With children - be his evil eye.

A plane missing suspiciously.
Theories on what happened to it.
The pilots under scrutiny.
Something rotten from the cockpit?
...

M is for the Milk you do make
to feed me so that I will grow
O is for the Outings we take,
me on your back and off we go.
...

A painted turtle, I did fall
In love with an Illini girl.
And often to her I would call,
To give a life with me a whirl.
...

The Pope is hot on climate change,
Edicting out Papal hot air,
How all the world should rearrange
Carbon footprints, or we don't care.
...

Twenty fourteen - humans did test
Us kangaroos to check out tail.
Was it just a wagger at best,
Or on a much more useful scale?
...
