IN NATURE, SIZE MATTERS

Winter came and brought misery, misery, I am told,

It blocked the paths of all creatures, and suffered them, the cold,

Cold hurts the face, and ears, and icy little paws,

It favors those with talons, teeth and sharpened claws,

I'm a bear napping in my cave, and on that life I'm sold.

NO JOB = NO HOME = GROCERY CART LIFE

This sad morning, my old rusty, purple pickup would not start,

My vehicle turned over once, then the engine blew apart,

I was so late for my job,

Was fired by my boss, Bob,

Real soon, I'll be pushing a reliable grocery cart.

GRADUATE AND FIND OUT

I went to a senior party, near the lake, and the piers,

We built a big fire, so we'd have light to find our beers,

It was long past our graduation day,

But, we were not happy, in any way,

We were now all done with school, and had unemployment fears.

BUGS IN MY EGGS

My name is Penny, I'm A bird with a bird nest,

A bug laid eggs in my eggs; her babies ate best,

The bug flew fast, away,

I'll catch her in a day,

Her bug days are numbered, tasting bug guts, my quest.

SPACE FARM ONE, ON MARS

I am excited to start farming in outer space,

I believe Mars makes for the ultimate, testing case,

I will bring cows, and make them stay,

I'll fill their mouths with lots of hay,

I'll suck in the clean air of Mars, a pristine, nice place.

EXTREME COLD: MICHIGAN, THE FREEZER STATE

I ran into my Uncle Karl, who lives down in the del,

By the size of his stomach, I knew that Karl wintered well,

Taters and fried cakes,

Is just what it takes,

To survive winters in Michigan, if that is where you dwell.

NOT HARDER TIMES, WHEN I GOT DIMES

My net worth is a pocket full of dimes,

I have lived through much harder times,

I'd eat some begged bread,

Felt myself well feed,

For more bread, I'd do all sorts of crimes.

I AM A SMALL SPIDER

I am a small spider that got washed away,

Now I am stuck on the ground, in the wet clay,

So I'll swim like a duck,

Climb up from the muck,

Build me a web, and there my eggs I will lay.

WINTER WOED ME GOOD

It is the winter of my woe,

It got so cold I froze my toe,

Can't pay for heat, I'm out of doe,

The roof caved in because of snow,

I'm burning books, so heat I'll know.

BANGING IN THE WOODS, A HUNTER'S TAIL

Went out to the woods to bang me a beast,

I sat downwind, where he'd smell me the least,

He snuck up tippy toe,

He was near, I didn't know,

Out of me the beast made a feast.
