I dreamt I was a cockleburr, ...stuck in a coyote's coat, He stopped to scratch and I fell off, ...and that is all she wrote. But who is she? I asked myself, ...to pen of cockleburr, As I lay upon the ground, ...no more in coyote's fur. A cockleburr upon bare ground, ...no fur in which to stick, While I wondered who she was, ...she didn't give a lick. The coyote's gone, and so is she, ...and here alone I lie, Since cockleburrs don't read or write, ...I say farewell, goodbye. |

Wonderfully enjoyable read, Mike! I'm so glad you're not a cockleburr and I hope you won't feel like one long for you must, you must keep reading and writing! |

What a wonderful fun poem. Who else would think of writing about a cockleburr. Joyce |

Mike~ *smiling* here !  'A cockleburr upon bare ground, ...no fur in which to stick, While I wondered who she was, ...she didn't give a lick.' Only you, Coyote !  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
