The Giantess Wolf

Look at the big tall giantess wolf
Who sits on her giantess chair
Her paws can be found with their claws on the ground 
While the clouds brush her ears and her hair
Giant wolf, giant wolf, can you tell me, my dear
Where you found such a long-legged chair?
Though I'm just a small boy, I as well would enjoy
Bridging earth with the clouds in the air.

Angels

We go running around with our angel wings on
And our wee naked butts in the air
“We are angels!” we yell, and we hoot and we hop
And the well-dressed aristocrats stare
And they whisper: “What hooligans!
Surely they know that an angel is modest and mild.
Real angels wear dresses and carry a harp
And their hair is well-combed and well-styled.”
“Poo that!” we reply, as we climb up the church
And throw melons and eggs from the top
“Gifts from heaven!” we cry, as we watch the goop land
On the fancy folks’ heads—squish squelch slop.

Surely I'm in Paradise

Surely I'm in paradise
Surely I am here 
For chimes and birdsong enter
In the seashell of each ear
For goats are grazing near at hand
And chickens peck through dirt
A snake a-wiggles, bugs a-crawl
The mountain stands inert
And all around, there's only green
Banana trees and plants
There's green until the moon devours 
My paper, pen and pants
Until I'm nude and empty
In the bugs-a-chirping night
Declaring, "I'm in paradise!"
'Til all fades out of sight.
