Ima Ryma Poems

I am Kwan and in a quandry.
So many valentines to give,
As hubby and papa I be,
In Lincoln Park Zoo where we live.
...

A yellow spotted Amazon
River turtle, my naming be.
But my yellow spots are long gone,
Since I came in '73.
...

Just a weasel out looking for
Something tasty to snack upon.
I see this woodpecker asnore,
And on the ground, so I hop on.
...

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.
...

Mom was four months pregnant with me,
When she got the very bad news.
She had cancer malignancy.
To treat there was no time to lose.
...

Peanut, the parrot, smelled the smoke,
Saw that the humans were asleep,
Knew that it was no time to choke,
That it would take more than a peep.
...

Bill and Bob, they started it all,
And step by step they scaled the slope,
Dropping the chains of alcohol
And picking up the tools of hope.
...

'Where's my sandwich? I'm gonna tell.'
He whined and made a face. I smiled.
Little brothers are living hell.
I should have been an only child.
...

The Pope hired Michelangelo
To make the huge ceiling stand out
In the Cistine Chapel; to show
What faith and hope were all about.
...

Muhammad Ali - one more round
Of the Olympics - London style.
Now a sports icon, world renowned.
Two thousand twelve - it's been a while
