GIRAFFE IN A BALLOON. By Jojoba Mansell

What's that up there?

Beyond that tree!

That thing up floating high,

am I crazy or do you see!

Is it a bird perhaps a plane?

Here it comes over the beck.

 What could it be 

It has a huge, spotty neck.

Oh I know what it is, 

It's floating toward the moon.

It's a giraffe from Africa,

And it's trapped in a balloon! 

ELETELPHONY By Laura Richards.

Once there was an elephant,

Who tried to use the telephant -

No! No! I mean an elephant

Who tried to use the telephone -

(Dear me! I am not certain quite

That even now I've get it right.)

How it was, he got his trunk

Entangled in the telephone;

The more he tried to get it free,

The louder buzzed the telephee-

(I fear I'd better drop the song

Of elephop and telephone!)

MY FOOLISH DOG. Kathlene Bouzek. 2009

My dog is quite hip 

Except when he takes a hip

He looks like a fool

When he jump in the pool

And reminds me of a sinking ship.

CHOCOLATE. By Rita Doveo

Velvet fruit exquisite square

I hold up to sniff

between finger and thumb

How you numb me 

With your rich attentions!

If I don't eat you quickly,

You'll melt in wy palm.

Pleasure seeker if I let you

You'd liquefy everywhere.

Knotted smoke, dark punch

Of earth and night and leaf,

For a taste of you

Any woman would gladly

Crumble to ruin.

Enough chatter I am ready

To fall in love!

CHOCOLATE - CHOCOLATE by Rish Ahmed. (12)

Chocolate chocolate

Ah! What a delight

You know you want it, right?

Go on, have a bite!

(A tribute to my mom's chocolate) 

PEDRO THE PARANOID PIRHANA.

I'm Pedro the paranoid Pirhana

And I don't think that I'll see maniana

'Cos some of me mates

Want we on their plates

Washed down with a Pina Collada

I know by their glances so fleetin'

That there's evil intent in their greetin'

So I'm watchin' them

Watchin' me watchow' them

While I swallow the one that I'm eating.
