Mistooken Haircuts
I think there’s been
A little mixup
I’m not here
To get a haircut
I just need
To use your toilet
If you’ll let me
I’ll employ it
As for haircuts
I’ve no need
Though hairy coat
I have indeed
For all the hairs
Upon my head
Seasonally grow
And then they shed

Sharing Flowers
I found this flower
In the wood
And almost ate it—
It looked good
But I have brought it
Here to share
Just to let you
Know I care

The Finest Coat
I’ve a list of coats I’ve gotten
Some of wool and some of cotton
Some of linens, some of flannels
Deftly tailored, all the panels
Amidst that list, I’m at a loss
To find one there as fine as moss

The Rolling Puffins’ Bowling League
In the Rolling Puffins’ Bowling League
The competition’s hot
You might think you’d do quite well
Rest assured, you’d not
For little known of puffins
Is how they love to bowl
To point their beaks right down the lanes
Their very chiefest goal
The unity among their teams
Is a bond beyond compare
They live their lives together
They work and play and share
So if you think you stand a chance
You’d better take a hike
For Rolling Puffins always win
For they always roll a strike!

Fish
Fish for breakfast
Fish for lunch
Fish, by the little
Fish, by the bunch
Fish in the river
Fish in the streams
Fish, eyes wide open
Fish, in my dreams
Fish in my pockets
Fish in my hand
Fish, drawn from water
Drawing cats from the land
