Stephen Katona Poems

From a group of boys,
Came excited jabbering noise.
In the corner of the playground,
There was something they had found.
...

You thought you'd have an epitaph,
When you came near my calf.
I'm sorry I scared you and your brother,
I was just being a protective mother.
...

It would be fantastic,
If we stopped using plastic,
And eased the world's pain,
With a healthy food chain.
...

'Please don't eat me, '
Said the Zonkey,
To the Grolar Bear,
'I'm far too rare.
...

How I wish you'd let me know,
Before you decided to go.
When you came to play,
You seemed to be okay.
...

Now what would you think,
Of a party all pink,
With pink iguanas,
Dressed in pink pyjamas?
...

The tortoise watched some field mice play,
One beautiful sunny summer's day,
When who should fix him with a stare,
Than his old race partner, the hare.
...

A smile costs nothing,
But is an easy way to show loving,
A beautiful handout,
To take away doubt.
...

You see a wrinkled 102 year old,
Balanced on the edge of a knife,
Waiting for a puff of wind,
To send me crashing from this life.
...

My dreams although short,
Some, I can report:
Riding on a wave,
Being rather brave,
...
