¿Es crimen ser lentísimo?
No, y tampoco es aburridísimo
No significa que siempre soy flojo

Hay árboles que trepar
Yo no los quiero dejar
Que peligros en el suelo, ten ojo!

No me temes por favor
Mis uñas no dan dolor
Me encantan los abrazos como ustedes

Las uso para pegarme
En las ramas que necesito apoyarme
La libertad prefiero más que los paredes

Quédense un ratito en mi hogar relajado
La mejor manera de vida que ustedes han probado
Todo el estrés dejaran

Mi pelaje es velloso
Como les parezco tan cariñoso
Como las personas no me amarán?
Done for school--a fusion of two of my loves! Spanish and poetry. I can translate if you like.

Oh you, you champion.

You have won us
(some by losing us)
We all adore your scissor-shaped
mouth: even unsettled goslings
honking claims of flying south.

Shine on, halo of a man.
Shine on, newsie flash in the pan.
For the one and only John Ashton Upston.

To the exotic fisherman
who may stare at
the silver-scaled fish
in wonder--
this shall be your new catch.
With souls like nets,
and pure-blue eggs that hatch
new ideas in a flash!
Savor this fish as
it flicks its tail in a splash
to return home to sinkship hollows.

For you detect no
like creature
precedes or follows.
Understand the implicit meaning?

Where does despair go?
Does it vanish or disappear?
In the distance I can hear
the skulls chime in the wind--
hollow bones rattling like the
skeletons of my sin!

Try as you may
to blink away
the macabre, gray-green glare
of the death of your hopes:
So you are bound beneath
despair's, wicked, ragged, ropes.

— The End —
