Louisas Quilt
In her sewing room
She sits on her seat,
Cloths of many colors
Strewn at her feet.
Oval, triangle, rectangle and square,
She makes them all fit,
A little bit here, ...a little bit there.
She mixes purple and orange,
And green and red,
To make a quilt
To cover her bed.
With each careful stitch
It grows and grows,
Down to the floor it swiftly flows.
In the middle a fish of green
Amidst colors of the rainbow
Can be seen.
Now at last the quilt is made
Across her bed, A bright cascade
As if from a rainbow
It did bloom
And scattered colours
Across her room....

Lovers
Young lovers seek perfection,
Old lovers sew shreds together,
And see beauty in a multiplicity of patches.

Meadows
Meadows bedecked with white necklaced daisies,
Yellow faces to the sun,
Cheery flowers everyone.
Consider the buttercup yellow,
A quiet demure little fellow.
Never grown from gardeners seed,
Considered by many...just a weed
Fairy thimble....thistle too
a multitude of beautiful hues,
Hawthorn with its flowers of white
A beautiful wondourous sight.
The shy cowslip is also seen
Hanging its head through leaves of green,
Headlanda dotted with primrose pale,
Summer days are here again.

more nonsence
Do lions take pride,
When they kill in the night?
Does the wise owl
Really gave a hoot?
Do pigeons enjoy
Being in a pie?
Would the emu
Like to fly?
Why does the ostrich
Bury his head?
Perhaps he wants to see
China instead?
Why does the camel look so proud?
My! but he can
Shout out loud! .
Why does the gorilla
Beat his breast?
Perhaps he has something
To get off his chest?
When geese are in a gaggle,
Are they perhaps
Having a haggle?
Where do Angels
Get their wings?
At Christmas
From turkeys
Poor things........
