I Left My Coat in a Tree

I left my coat Hanging on a tree. A few days later What do I see? A small bird nest In my small coat hood. In that nest were eggs, And I thought that was good. A few days later What do I see? Three or four hatchlings In my coat in the tree. A couple of days later A storm came along. I found my coat on the ground And the hatchlings were gone. I left my coat Hanging on a tree. I hope the chicks flew away And are happy and free.

When Life Gets Boring

When life gets boring

Do something different

Like going to a zoo

And freeing an elephant.


If you’re still bored,

Do something extra

Like taking the freed elephant

To your local cinema.


If you’re still bored

Do something you love

Like writing wacky poems

About a fairy or a dove.


If you’re still bored

Get someone to do it with you

Like the elephant you freed

From your local zoo.


If all else fails,

Then face your greatest fear.

Get out of your comfort zone

And sing for the whole world to hear.


If you’re scared to do it alone

Then form a quartet.

The elephant can be one of them,

He’d do well with a trumpet.


If you’re still bored, sorry,

Other suggestions are irrelevant.

By now, you’ll be taken to jail

For stealing the zoo’s elephant.


***

This poem was created out of boredom and a need to write something different. Stealing elephants from zoos is not advised. However, doing something different and fun (and legal) now and then is. 😊
