Poetry Comer
ATTENTION: CITY COUNCIL
The streets, throughout our little town,
Where we must drive our cars;
Have concrete walks on either side,
But no one knows what for.
And when each new school term begins,
Not one protest is heard,
When kids who walk, or ride (heir bikes,
Spread out, from curb to curb.
I vote we all buy compact cars,
And silently retreat,
To do our driving on the walks,
And leave the kids the street. —Pat Simonds
THE SUPERSTITIONS SEEM TO FLOAT
The superstitions seem to float
? Above the desert floor.
The vultures circle overhead,
Forever wheel and soar.
Unwatered roots and dusty throats
Are commonplace out here.
The stumbling dude would not believe
It’s been a fairly rainy year.
Is he a scholar taking notes
Or is he seeking gold?
The poor fool bought a hand-drawn map
And tales the seller told.
Just now he’s looking for a spring
Denoted by i dot.
Meanwhile in Phoneix at a bar 1
The liar quails a shot.
He paid ten dollars for (hat map-
It cost him very dear.
The dying man would not believe
It’s been a fairly rainy year. --Byron M.Travis
