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!...

Searching Then Daydreaming

Searching for one’s tribe

Is not easy.

Especially if you’re faint hearted

And meeting fellow humans makes you queasy.


The motive for searching for a tribe

Is to satisfy my yearn for connection.

However, I postpone my search for company

In fear of ridicule and rejection.


What if I embarrass myself?

What if they don't care

About my attempts to connect?

Do I even dare?


And then there’s the matter

Of social awkwardness.

What should I say? What should I do?

My, my, I feel like a mess!


Exhausted by these worries, 

I give in to my reclusive side

And focus on more important tasks

Like daydreaming about mermaids dancing at high tide.
