"Don't think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drives into a corner and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark!"

Samuel Johnson

I AM a ZOO

my friends;

And it's not always pretty

behind the scenes.

Inside there's a gracious cat

purring

as the trade winds riffle

my ruff.

There is an ostrich

vain

and silly.

And also a

warthog

(I hope you won't glimpse it!)

Please notice the soul

and beauty

of my amber eyes

but ignore my

temper

and carrion breath.

I am a Zoo entire

my Love.

Except YOU are the grave & regal

elephant of the heart

therein.

You may be scratched,

and wreathed in roars,

or licked to a fare-thee-well,

but OH my love

you will enjoy

a deep and sturdy

Love.

*Bark * Hoot * Snort * Squeal*
