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!...

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.
