Broken Record

My brother’s like a broken record.  He tells me about how we used to bike around the neighborhood pretending we were race car drivers, and how we’d gained multiple knee scrapes from turning the curb too fast. He’ll tell me this story twice, thrice, or even four times in a row, and laugh about the good ol’ days. I laugh with him, because though he doesn’t remember that he’s already told me this story for the fourth time in a row, he does remember the fun we had. My brother’s like a broken record, but I don’t mind one bit.

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.
