Leopard

Leopards with their spots
Four legged polka dots
Jaguars too have spots
Leopard have densely spots
Jaguars have central spots
You and I call them spots
But Zoologist calls them
'Rosettes' which doesn't rhyme with spots.
Better to call them 'spots'
because it rhymes with 'dots.'

Dream

I dream a dream, a vivid dream,
A young and silent moonlit night,
A couple is lying by a stream,
The man is sleeping on her right.

Why Flowers, Fruits and Butterflies?
Where does the meaning truly lies?
What message is there in this dream?
Who is the couple, beneath the beam?

Pebbles & Stones

Pebbles and stones,

Of different tones.

Oval or Round.

Black or Brown.

Smooth or rough

Oddly enough,

People collect

pebbles and stones.

They like to select

the smooth and round.

The Odd Couple

Paths cross, unlikely pair,
What's important is the care,
From moments into days,
Love is strange in many ways,
From days into weeks,
Grow in time with many tweaks,
Then it turns into many years,
All the fears and the tears.
Love is always in the air,
It seeks you, take it, if you dare.

Days Of Wine and Roses

The beauty of fine wine,
Their lives so long entwined,
Bouquets of Roses love make,
Their struggles in life partake,
Where good, the bad, or ugly fake,
A bride and groom thus wake.
New roads still yet to discover,

To add yet red flower,
One union shared together
Will last forever and ever?

Why Women Wear Heels?

Women wear heels, fashion dictate.
Women wear heels to imitate.
Women wear heels to feel great.
Women wear heels to look taller.
Women wear heels, feet look smaller.
Sky high heels to look sexy.
To walk on heels, one can't be lazy.
To walk on heels, a balancing act.
To walk on heels, risks the back.

Ringing Eear

Woke up, morning
left ear ringing
Someone calling?
No, overheating.
Mixed some glucose
drank down fructose
It's still ringing
Like a gong
pinging
constant dong
What went wrong?
Lack of sleep?
Sleep not deep?
Lack of water?
Other matter?
I had choc
Dark and smooth
That's what lock
Ear phone booth.

The Truth About Aging

Boy looks six, Girl looks four,

I was once six, I was once four,

Young and fresh and not a bore,

All of us were once before,

Unless we find the fountain of youth,

There is none, but one truth,

Once I was hot, now I have to thaw,

I can't escape the Aging Law.

Incubator Cockerel

A handsome cockerel to be sure.
Came out of an incubator?
you don't say!
That's so cool way.
So a pet he shall stay
or served after the Entre'?
Of course he is a pet,
Or else, your son will be sad.
Like a father to the son,
From an egg he was born.
And to love with all his heart,
Never bear to be apart.

Dogturday

It's Caturday,
what can I do?
See cats all day!
who can I sue?
Feline friends, if I may,
I'm a doggy bud, it's true.
Please turn it to dogturday,
maybe next week or two?

oh, so it's Dog Day on Sunday.....
I didn't know that, by the way.
Thank you Clare for your say
Lawyer fees I don't have to pay!
