WISPS OF WHITE

 

Wisps of White

Decorate the azure blue

Like absent minded stokes

Of an artist’s brush

While the sun bathes the land

With its benevolence

AT DR DOOLITTLE’S ANIMAL CLINIC

At Dr Doolittle’s animal clinic

The Animals do the lot

The chief vet is a Labrador

Assisted by a dog called spot

 

But it’s not a cheap option

With extra charges of all sorts

For PET scans and Polly grams

Cat scans and Lab reports

BECALMED

 

We sat becalmed on the cold ocean

I wished to see the waters move

But they remained mirror flat

Still as a silent thought

Lost in the absent echo

As we remained motionless

Beneath a relentless sun

WHITE AS LUNAR LIGHT

 

White as Lunar light

Moonshine birds fly lonely skies

Where echoes can’t be heard

A PAIR OF MONKEYS

 

As two monkeys were getting into the bath

The first monkey had prepared for them

And the second one said: “Oo, oo, aah, ahh”

The first retorted “Put some cold in then”

WHY DO GORILLAS HAVE FAT FINGERS

 

Why do Gorillas have fat fingers?

Is one question that still lingers

But clearly the obvious conclusion

Is large nostrils are the reason

BUTTERFLIES ONLY LIVE FOR ONE DAY

 

Butterflies only live for one day

My wife told me with surprise

I said it was a myth, but she said

“No, it’s definitely a butterfly”
