Where the Children Stand
By Brent Johnson, Clam Gulch
If a dove dove
from a steeple fair
she’d rest on wings
without a care.
But donkeys don’t
enjoy such bliss
when faced with
a precipice.
If sheep approach
a canyon deep
they never lose
a wink of sleep.
But elephants
could not relax
if rumored you
might raise their tax.
Off in Hamelin
Bob Browning records
a case of rats
that came in hordes.
