The Flat Earth Poem

I’m waiting for that moment
When day and night they meet
To see just where the sun goes
Beneath the sea so deep
It really isn’t very far
As you will plainly see
Just over the horizon
And out of sight from me
One day I think I’ll chase it
To take it by surprise
Then find out where the edge is
And I will be so wise
For they say the earth is rounded
But really it is flat
Why else would things just disappear?
Over there like that
They think I am so stupid
But one day they will see
That the earths as flat as a pancake
I Know cos I’m A Tree

The Garden Invader

There’s a squirrel in my garden

And its eating all my nuts

Hanging from the feeder

In a way that I don’t trust

The pigeons in their numbers

Simply stand and stare

And watch their morning breakfast

Vanish in thin air

That bushy tailed invader

Really does not care

For it just keeps right on eating

All the nuts that’s hanging there

It’s acrobatic endeavor seems to be a feat

That mesmerizes pigeons as they waddle with empty beaks

A cat in stalking presence looks on as if beguiled

While watching that hanging squirrel

That seems to swing in style

At last it notes my presence

And makes for it’s escape

With a belly full of peanuts

That no one said it could take.
