Hickory, Dickory, Dock
Hickory, dickory, dock.
Two mice ran up the clock.
The clock struck one.
Enjoy the pun.
Hickory, dickory, dock.

After School
Lie beneath a spreading treeWith golden flowers in the sun.
Count to five on all the petals,Never think of five plus one.
Watch the building-crammed horizon,
Sky no longer meeting ground.
Watch the golden flowers witherWatch the golden dreams fall down.



Today I Touched the Buffalobster

Today I touched the buffalobster
and the goldfishark,
the eagleopard, ocelotter,
and the weaselark.
I fed the frogorilla
and I felt the reindeerat.
I prodded the piguana
and I scratched the alpacat.
I gazed at the gazellephant.
I gawked at the gooseal.
I caught the cockroachimpanzeebra
and the bumblebeel.
I pet the parroturtle,
and the pelicangaroo.
It's freaky, but it's fun here
at the Mutant Petting Zoo.
--Kenn Nesbitt
