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?

THE PEOPLE UPSTAIRS

Image
The people upstairs all practise ballet Their living room is a bowling alley Their bedroom is full of conducted tours. Their radio is louder than yours, They celebrate week-ends all the week. When they take a shower, your ceilings leak. They try to get their parties to mix By supplying their guests with Pogo sticks, And when their fun at last abates, They go to the bathroom on roller skates. I might love the people upstairs more If only they lived on another floor.
