Ima Ryma Poems

An acorn woodpecker I be,
A liking acorns - can you guess?
I'm near the acorns near the tree.
I grab onto each acorn - yes!
...

I flashed my flashlight on a tree
While taking a walk late one night.
A pair of red eyes glared at me.
Indeed it was a fearsome sight,
...

I knew my wife was crazy so
I took her to a mental ward.
The docs came and I let them know
My wife, she needed help, oh lord!
...

I watch the clouds go drifting by,
Illuminated from the moon,
Making for an artistic sky,
A canvas on which nature's strewn
...

A Canada lynx, I come new,
A feline ambassador that,
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,
Can connect from my habitat.
...

Jesse Owens, a 'Bama boy,
Born in Oakville, nineteen thirteen.
Running did become his main joy,
A star in the local track scene.
...

The penguins and the polar bear,
Next door neighbors in time and place,
But not in the wild anywhere.
We do not share the arctic space,
...

We have received some evidence
That maybe we are not alone,
That there is life in some presence
Somewhere in the outer space zone.
...

Tiz sixteen tons of CO2
That ev'ry year I do emit.
The experts tell me that I do.
I really could ease up a bit.
...

Pausing, Paatsy, the aardvark, is
A lady of the evening who
Is busy with nocturnal biz
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
