Fabulous Selection Poem by Robert Rorabeck

I just want to sit beneath your chair
And listen to your beautiful farts
Out in all that pinstriped spring;
I’d place your school desk underneath a tree
Where pythons and blue jays live;
The biggest thing out in the middle of Africa
And admire you in our own winsome country;
I’d tie a swing for you daughter and keep her
Occupied while I curled up beneath you
Like a cat exhausted from hunting turkey for
You on thanksgiving; knotted in the grasses with
The Easter eggs, your eyes catching most of the light-
Do you realize that we are pin wheeling on the
Edge of the universe,
And you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen?
