"The Sun, the Moon and the Stars"
For Jan and Ashley
Mother Moon
is baking moon pies
for her children stars.
"Save some for father,
save some for father,
save some for father."
"Father will get none."
Children are gathering
pie crumbs
and throw them
into the sky.
"They are for you father Sun."
Then hail comes.
Father gets none.

POW! GROW

Home
It's raining outside.
I am lying on the sofa
under the light of the lamp
with the pink shade,
wrapped in the warm blanket,
reading a mystery book
and sipping hot tea
with lemon and honey
from my favorite mug.
The cat is sleeping
at my feet.

I don't dance
I don't dance
Texas two step.
No, thank you.
I really don't.
I even do not
waltz anymore.
I can not tango, polka,
fox-trot, or cha-cha.
I don't dance two step.
I even do not walk steps.
I can sit and smile,
sometimes frown.
I cook, eat,watch
the world still in awe.
I can smell roses
Yes, I can flirt.
I just do not dance
anymore.

A cat
I am white and orange, nine pounds including whiskers and a tail. Our mom knew how to dip deep into genetic pool. I have three brothers and two sisters. One is Siamese, one calico, brother is a big, fat tabby. We have Himalayan, and scrawny, bowlegged, bushy tailed sister.
They used to call me a Hop, or something like that, because I liked to hop high on the grass. It was sunny, grass was green, fields full of mice and snakes just across dirty road. Little town had a butcher who knew how to make jitrnice (something like pudding in the casing) and sausages. There were also two bakeries with wonderful kolatches and poppy seed strudels.
Then one day two women came. One of them was driving a van. I knew I will have to go. They were to many of us in the house. They put me on the floor of the van and took off. I had to pee, but I was holding back. Humans can be very opinionated about little puddles.
I went to live with my woman. She smokes.
To be continued.

A mouse and a moose (Tongue twister)
To Krystof
A mouse mumbles to the moose:
meet me Monday at midnight
under the mistletoe
when is full moon.

You told me
You told me
go and eat your
shoelaces.
So I am eating
them
early in the
morning
and all day
long.
Then I shall
fall
into
the sewer.
You will be not
mon amour.
