the forest


by robin hood

robin hood writes poems about the cruelty and injustice of all life



rudy jones was the reddest leaf in the forest

larry brown was the littlest bug in the forest and ate rudy

gus smith was the greenest leaf in the forest

george washington was the biggest gorilla in the forest and ate gus

ridley dunlop was the biggest raindrop in the sky

number 5 was the driest dirt path in the woods and swallowed ridley

roy jones was the littlest rabbit in the forest

he never had a chance

lucas jefferson was the biggest bolt of lightning in the sky

tom brown was the oldest tree in the forest

he, too, never had a chance

the sheriff of nottingham used to be my pal

he never gave me a chance

listen - you can hear the sounds

of teeth chomping

of rain falling

of thunder crashing

of rocks rolling

of armies marching

but mostly of teeth chomping

and gastric juices dissolving
