without


by dog e relaford



the angel had an aardvark
who could not dance or sing
a cookie that never crumbled
a bee that would not sting

a dog that did not bark
an egg that never fried
a friend who never called
a gorilla that never cried

a horse that never ran
an itch that never scratched
a joker that never joked
a meteor that never crashed

a nightingale without a square
an orangutan without a hat
a roger without a jolly
take a moment to ponder that

a maid without a parlor
a queen without a throne
a saint without a shrine
lost and alone

a turk without a taffy
an uncle without a sam
a viper without a bosom
all wondering, who i am

excuse me for a moment
said the blush without a bride
the commissioner is calling
and i have nowhere to hide
