There are many short straws in a haystack
and looking back I
drew them all,

you can believe this too
kiss a million frogs you'll only get
slimy lips,
not many princes are spawned in the pond
or princesses come to think of it.


If you own a silk purse is it reasonable to believe
that there's a one eared sow by the name of ' Van Gogh?

and you can make a monkey out of me, but
I'll never be able to swing in a tree,
least not at my age.

I'm not sure what poetry is,
but what it isn't is not in
my vocabulary,
