    The Visitor Came 

The day the visitor came 

A fuzzy little guy, brown 

He looked hungry, we fed him 

All vegetables, our surprise 

A hungry guy sort of thin 

We talked a bit just chit chat 

He then proceeded to tell 

Tell of his life's hardships; 

"Born in the wild, jungle home 

But now on city streets"   

We asked him had he a place 

He said "no kind folk, I don't" 

Now family conference 

If you're nice you can stay here 

He has been here ever since 

"One problem, I have four buds 

They've street people too, we five 

Dawny Duck, Frosty Snowman, 

Bunny Rabbit, Teddy Bear 

Nice children, sleep in one bed 

All five of us need a home"

I've another, monkey caged 

I fear he seems to like that 

Swinging in his cage all day 

Passersby come, they applaud" 

Visitor Tig, was the best 

Nice kid and so were the rest 

Even so was the monkey 

But he's not want to escape 

Well fed, much loved, all for free 

     _ _ _ 

Note:  I've rewritten this poem today, January 21, 2023.  If you read it yesterday it had Tig and his friends, along with the monkey, being taken from the wilds before being adopted into the home of the writer of the poem.  I have saved it but now it is much nicer, almost cute, than before.

This little fellow greeted us every morning at our hotel while we were staying in HuehueTenango, Guatemala for two weeks.  At the video end we were sharing hands.

.

Colorado; ..

five-line fiction .....
(a Texas Divorce) ....

I will be seeing you in a couple of weeks he said, dropping it all on Irma at entirely the improper time.

Are you going someplace, someplace that I too have been dreaming about dearest Moody?

Ollie and I are going to the Rockies for a try at skiing, nothing that you would like dear.

Well then you and Ollie have a good time--by the way, who is Ollie?

(the next morning) Mrs. Mood, I am Lt. Hill of the Texas Rangers here to arrest you for the murder over across the county line in Dallas County of James R. Mood and his companion, Ollivette Skeener (woe to stolen love).
