Nature in Two Bytes

thrice the air

struck its

notes to the wind; two times plus

seven the ladybug

flies through six a’seven nights

A turtle said to her monkey friend

Where is your shell?

A monkey said to her fish friend

Where is your fur?

A fish said to her plant friend

Where is your fins?

And on went evolution

"Pattycake pattycake baker’s man

Bake me a cake as fast as you can.

Roll it and pat it

And mark it with a ‘D’

And put it in the oven for baby and me."

Aseem Aseem, eleven classes

Coffee and Caffee

And he’s not ticklish

If the color blue were to speak to me

-what would it say?

Would it thank me for wearing it,

Each and every day?

Would it chuckle to remember

The accident last year,

When I coated myself in Carl’s printer ink

Would it speak of the loss, and the find

The subconsciously persuaded mind

The reasons in roots obscure to find

Sadly I,

Sadly I,

Broke a sibling color.
