Welcome

More and more I want to stay close to you,
this way I can travel far from home,
and return back with new eyes,
new stories,
a new tongue.

Poem for today: DONKEY - from The Carnival of the Animals


Donkey (Persons with Long Ears)


The straw is too dry,
My shoes don’t fit,
The fence is too high,
I’m done with it!
The barn smells bad,
The sheep snore at night,
The cow’s have gone mad,
It’s a sorrowful sight,
Everything around me
Dissapoints,
The quality, the service,
The endless oinks,
My patience has gone
right out the door,
My only recourse, of course,
is to kick,
and HEEHAW!
