THE THEORETIC TURTLE

Image
The theoretic turtle started out to see the toad; He came to a stop at a liberty-pole in the middle of the road. "Now how, in the name of the spouting whale," the indignant turtle cried, "Can I climb this perpendicular cliff and get on the other side? If I only could make a big balloon I'd lightly over it fly; Or a very long ladder might reach the top though it does look fearfully high. If a beaver were in my place, he'd gnaw a passage through with his teeth; I can't do that but I can dig a tunnel and pass beneath." He was digging his tunnel with might and main, when a dog looked down at the hole. "The easiest way, my friend," sald he, "is to walk around the pole."   BIODATA ●        Amos Russel Wells, born on December 23, 1862 and died on March 6, 1933 was an American poet, editor, prose author, and academic. ●        Wells was born in Glens Falls, New York. ●        H...

I AM NOT OLD

Image
My eyes are fine; they are just printing words small. I just use a walking stick to seem stately and tall. Nothing is wrong with my sense of smell. My ears are fine if you don't whisper but yell. The wrinkles are just laugh lines; they will go away. It is fashion that has turned my hair from black to grey. It's the cold, not age that is stiffening my knees. I like to hum as I walk; it's not a wheeze. What extra kilos? My scale is broken down. If I try, I can still fit into my wedding gown. My bones don't creak; my shoes are new. My memory is sharp. Oh, do I know you?

HOME ALONE

Image
  My family's gone; there's no one home. It's only me who's home alone. I shouldn't hear a single squeak. There shouldn't even be a creak, So what's that thumping that I hear? It must mean one thing: death is near. "You're an adult, you'll be just fine." I tell myself as I dial "nine"... Was that a knock upon the door? My heart beats faster than before I know it's closed; I've checked the lock. At least my killer knows to knock? I cannot sleep, though I'm in bed. I've made amends with God instead. If He decides that it's my time, Then this will be my very last rhyme. I hear a bang and then a break. My head shoots up; there's no mistake! I turn my music volume high So I won't hear the way I die. I run upstairs, desk lamp in hand. Over my head, ready to land, And right before it did just that..
