Ima Ryma Poems

I watched a woman make some pies,
In a place where food was not found,
Where starvation was no surprise.
The pies were laid out on the ground.
...

I was driving my city bus
In a blowing blizzard of snow.
Two old ladies and me - just us.
They said we passed their house, and so

An elephant and a giraffe
Were standing on a riverbank.
The elephant let out a laugh.
A turtle came by on a plank.

Flight 1549, I will
Most certainly never forget.
Because of lots of luck and skill,
I survived the ditch of a jet
...

Stonehenge stands on the British plain,
A monument to efforts past.
Centuries B.C., the campaign
To build a marvel that would last,
...

A lot of folks are real upset.
A family of coons live in
A place where some would want to get
Rid of 'em. Let the plans begin
...

Claudius, Emperor of Rome,
Banned his soldiers from being wed.

And I followed God's law instead.
...

There once was a porcupine that
Wanted to find himself a bride.
Though almost as blind as a bat,
He searched throughout the countryside.
...

My best friend, Chubb, and I had spent
The day at the old fishing hole.
We both were feeling quite content,
Catching fish warmed body and soul.
...

Two brothers who had worked for years
As window washers were at work
Fifty stories high. Their worst fears
Happened when their scaffold did jerk.
