TWINKLE, TWINKLE CRYING STAR
If
eight elephants envision
erroneous epithets,
while wombats wander worldwide
wordlessly wondering why,
mongooses maintain mostly
morose monthly monologues,
and aged aardvarks aimlessly
avoid any affection -
If
poor pious possums ponder
plaintive, painful platitudes,
confused, caustic cattle can’t
compose cud coherently,
wounded woodpeckers worry
without wiggly, witless worms,
cautious, crying crocodiles
cannot contemplate chaos -
If
reptiles reject regression,
eagles equate erosion,
dolphins detest dire dogma,
camels cringe collectively -
And
tortoises try to tunnel:
If
domesticated doggies
dig diligently deeper,
foreseeing falcons flying
forever forward from fear -
And
coy cockroaches can’t complain:
Wouldn’t it be safe to say
that God’s more evolved creatures
see what we refuse to see,
hear what we refuse to hear,
fear what we refuse to fear?
(Yes, I wrote this mindless drivel!)
