All is not well in the land of milk and honey
We have just received reports
A certain someone was reported,
not once but twice
And he declared to the world via youtube
He was going to be a professional school shooter,
and the bureau confessed
To sweeping this under the rug
Their acknowledgement of doing nothing
caught us all by surprise

Wizard, oh wizard to whom should I cry
If I cry not to thee
My friends all say, So disheartening
and certainly it is,  I so agree
Truly sad Wizard, when I should say
Our leaders should bow their head in shame
Yet, we know they aren't to blame,
knowing majority of homes,
businesses and government institutions
Have way much better security
than America's school system

In a whirl of a shimmering mist
the wizard popped on the scene
And I said Wizard, Oh wizard
I just want to scream

Safe schools are most important
When will schools be more secure?
When will our nation learn,
And will evil ever be cured?

A tiger cat and a black cat
were having an argument

They quarreled
For five minutes or longer
Fussing and fussing

Tiger cat's tail was swishing
Black cat's ears lying back

Finally,  tiger cat relented
And backed slowly away

I'm very pleased
cause I didn't want to see
either one get hurt

Under a blue sky,  
Bluejays eating blueberries
Then away they fly

Somewhere deep in a clearing
way back in the woods

Where those wild ferns grow
And the man doesn't go

Gathers a group of forest animals
Around a watering hole

Chatting about everything
under the Sun

Dear Poets and Readers

This poem page will be dedicated
to our men and women in Blue
To those who have given their life
for me and you

These are only a few of our fallen
