Jessica's Poetry

My friend from school, Jessica, has an uncanny gift for the dramatic.  She has written me a number (3) of wonderfully dramatic poems and a fun little monologue, which appear below.  She gets her own special section on the webpage!  Hopefully I'll be adding to this shortly.

The One About Platypi

Reclining on the frozen ground, Calm, content, and honor bound Our webbed comrade of the north Checks his watch and scurries forth. Though they wander unknown lands Crawling far from homeland sands Oh, You! the remarkable beauties of my eye, The perpetually pleasing platypi.

The One About Ducks

Oh!  how may I weather The devastating effects of your feather, That wakes my skin To a dream of frolicking with my downy kin. But lo! disregard my brazen song, A duck in the arms - 'twould be a wrong!

The One About The Frog

I walked into a frog today, I asked permission to convey My thoughts on his recent display, But sadly to my complete dismay I walked into a frog today.

The Dramatic Monologue About Food

The ways of the food business are fleeting, I attach myself to one only to be made the fool; oh cruel misfortune!  Oh betrayal!  Be still my writhing stomach!  Dinner is a roving fiend; dessert is the only condolence.

The platypus and the vampire bat - two of God's noblest creatures
