Be My




  My Bod 

I have but one body 
Or can you find some more 
nobody's somebody 

Anybody might care 
especially Mrs. 
Peabody's big girl 

She was my Valentine 
Mrs. Peabody's daughter

My Woods Walk

  


    Introduction to the poem


Written by a man who has no close friends

Grew up on a farm closest was his dog 

(Married now he and wife joined at the hip)


    Morning's Rising 

The woods were mine that morning 

Mine and the birds all around 

Adi my Beagle stayed home 

'Twas way to cold for her  


Birds were singing all around 

Mocking bird returned my call 

"Who cooks for you" was my call 

"Who cooks for you" its return 


A little squirrel jumped down 

Came after some nuts I'd thrown 

Quickly it had company 

Quickly all the nuts were gone 


Bread crumbs for the rabbits 

They timidly watching me 

Softly, quietly they came 

Bigger pieces they ate first 


Gray Wolf on the hill  howled 

He howled to those down below 

Famous art seemed to have known 

Posed like the one on my wall 


Early morning had brightened 

Peaking over horizon 

Timidly the sun came up 

It was time to feed my dog
