Pardon

Pardon my staring

At what might seem

To be your limbs

Not your long legs per se

Just the red and white stripes

On your  delightful thights

 

Two life-size  candy canes

With the perfect gap

The flawless curves

And the matchless strides

 

I gave up the sweets

Once I turned Mormon

But tonight

Dear Lord forgive

I will be tripping between

Hershey’s and Heineken

Born and Bred

 

The queen wants to have you

But you are mine and we are miners

She wants to serve you oats

But you delight in virgin honey

Her minstrels could play the famous flutes

But the talking drums rock moving melody

She wants to pour some lavender and powder

You are spiced  with nectar and shea butter

To give you a face-lift and some make-up

But you are adorned with pride and purpose

Her rolls of blanket are cute and cozy

You are warm in straps of sheep’s fleece

Her castle is fortified with mortar and men

Your bamboo house is warm and loving

She has a multitude of nightingales

The caring arms of folks embrace you

She has a fleet of Rolls-Royce

Your horses are ready to render and race

She wants to shield you from the rainfall

We love to see your dance steps  in the rain

She wants to make you a star in glitz

But you are bright and rare as can be

The queen wants to have you

But you are mine and we are miners

She wants you to have

A greener pasture

And lots of tons of more

But you are happy

Right here

But you are happy

Right now

River Bird

River bird, river bird

What bothers you today

I wish the bittern would think

That my pitch was loud as it goes

 

River bird, river bird

What bothers you today

I wish the coot would think

That my beak was white as snow

 

River bird, river bird

What bothers you today

I wish the curlew would think

That my legs were long as a mile

 

River bird, river bird

What bothers you today?

I wish the crane would think

My neck was high as the hill.

 

River bird, river bird

What bothers you today

I wish the duck would think

My feet were webbed and wholesome

 

River bird, river bird

What bothers you today

I wish the ibis would think

I would be cool in the tropics.

 

River bird, river bird

What bothers you today

I wish the kingfisher would think

I am adorned with blue and orange

 

River bird, river bird

What bothers you today

I wish the cygnet would think

I was white and cool as others

 

River bird, river bird

What bothers you today

I wish that you will think through

Why you bother as much as me
