The Clever Use of Scale
There was a knight
Who sat upon
A steed which was too small
To give the sense
To all his foes
That he was rather tall
Many battles he sought out
And many did he win
Most knights just simply ran away
Too fearful to begin
At last the knight decided to
Retire and shed his mail
And started building tiny homes
With his clever use of scale

Cordon Bleu
A disguise I’ve made
with intention to
Order a meal
of Cordon Bleu.
So long I’ve smelled it
and it’s not fair
That they won’t serve
this hungry bear.

The Lady with the Flowered Hat
Marianna Terrance
Wears a most stupendous hat.
People stop and stare at her
No matter where she’s at.
All along the brim of it
Bloom flowers in clay pots.
And more than just a few are there
There’s really rather lots.
And when she has been indoors
Or sitting in the shade,
The flowers all begin to wilt
And seem as though they’ll fade.
But then she goes and walks about
In sunshine and in rain.
The flowers all get what they need
And start to bloom again.

In Waiting
What sounds do you make? What songs do you sing?
What marches and romps are you able?
For my curiosity rises up and up
While you stand there, still on the table.

Each Step Along the Way
Step by step I’ve climbed this hill
I’m sure I’m near the top
And coming close to what I seek
I’ve determined not to stop.
Though I’ve grown quite weary
With every step to bear,
If I stop now I’ll be stuck here
And never will reach there.
So on I go and up the hill
Until I reach my goal.
The journey and the journey’s end
Both precious to my soul.
