A clerk said, 'Next in line - this way.'
A dog spoke up, 'I guess I am.'
'What can we do for you today? '
'I want to send a telegram.'
...

A happy hatching has occurred,
An Inca tern chick comes brand new.
The species, an endangered bird,
Can be seen at Lincoln Park Zoo.
...

I am a poem that I wrote
Myself in olden place and time.
A lot of love stuff I did quote
And forced each line to end in rhyme.
...

Growing up, all I had was Dad.
He was my best friend, come what may.
At times, I cried when I was sad.
Dad gently wiped my tears away.

It does be said that money is
The root of all evil and so
Money is behind all war biz.
Off to war human greed does go.

My parents both age eighty two
Within the same week passed away.
To help my grieving I did do
A painting on a sunny day
...

I hear he's singing some sad song
That I did run away from him.
Of course he wonders what went wrong,
And why I took off on a whim.
...

We, all people of planet Earth
Know of the hate gone on before,
And know that hate has not been worth
The high price paid in constant war.
...

A grain of sand gets stuck in me,
Causing me irritation - damn!
And so does respond my body
To give some relief to this clam.

'How old is God? ' my child did ask.
The question caught me by surprise,
Not ready for such answer task,
Since for sure answers would be lies.

The two of us take a long walk.
I kind of know what's on your mind.
You feel it's time to have that talk
Of now cutting the ties that bind.

I'd died and gone to heaven high.
The shock had not worn off me yet.
What choice was there but to comply?
I sure could use a cigarette.

I am a cute red panda who
The humans love to see this 'red'
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
Lots of 'oohs' and 'aahs' be said
...

Whiskers, whiskers - I got a bunch,
As any harbor seal has got.
Whiskers help us to find some lunch -
Seafood, fish and crabs and whatnot,

Since early in life we are taught
That hell is awful time and place.
If sinners go there, then there ought
Be going most the human race.

A water cooler hanging out
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
Luigi's got a thirst no doubt.

'Selfie' is the word of the year,
The year two thousand and thirteen.
Self taken pic - oops missed an ear,
For the social media scene.

The bell did ring and school was out.
I needed to relax a bit.
A cigarette would help no doubt.
Behind the building up I lit.
...

I am a vampire in love with
A human who does not love me,
And thinks that I am just a myth,
Claiming a vampire I do be.

King Solomon was said to fly
On a carpet around the world.
Sixty miles long and wide, sent high
Upon the winds, It's silks unfurled.
