Run, Rat, Run (Second Version)

Run, rat, run! Run as fast as you can. You must run to earn your bread! If you stop running, You will earn nothing And you won’t be able to get fed. Run, rat, run! Run early in the morning Or run late into the night. Either wake up before Mr. Sun Or wake up with the Man in the Moon For you cannot afford respite. Run, rat, run! You’re the best runner we have! The most successful racer by far! Keep running at this pace And you just might win the race! Thank you for giving us all that you are. Run, rat, run! What’s this? You want extra crumbs? Proposturous! Utterly ridiculous! You’re not even that speedy And you’re already being greedy. You cannot possibly be serious. Run, rat, run! Don’t slow down now Though you puff and you pant for air. If you keep running You will stop foolishly thinking That this life isn’t right or fair. Run rat run! Don’t stop now! You must run all day, all night long! If you really hope to thrive And you really want to survive  You must continue to run strong!...

Sailing Cloud

 Trees clapped in the wind and grass swayed to the side like ocean waves. Circular wispy clouds sailed eastward like ships towards adventure in the big blue sky. I watched them move on. It was like they were simply enjoying the journey. The clouds would probably go somewhere. They would go to another part of town, perhaps even another state. Even better, another country, like Switzerland. Maybe they would travel across the sea and sail by leaping dolphins and flying fish. Maybe the clouds would travel the whole world. 

Beep, beep! 

I pulled out my phone and glared at the reminder on it, telling me I had more college work to do. I turned it off and looked back up at the sky. The clouds were further away. Going, going…gone. I sighed. The cool wind howled softly. One day, I would be a cloud sailing across the world. For now, I would try to enjoy the journey.
