The Reincarnated Zookeeper

The Reincarnated Zookeeper

L. Edgar Otto      01 October, 2013
(for last Fireblossom Friday)

If there is no final end of the world, it renewed
all the returning sentient souls chimera reviewed

The polliwogs try to cross the border, dandelion
pickers digging our fields far from blue eyed DeLeon

So history would relentlessly chain us in its clockwork
but were we not once brothers, so too where alights the stork?

Still, in another time my pincers red, not blue black ants
mongrel donkeys revolution red, no blue elephants

Like all unbirthday souls at the Hatter's tea party
that fill his top hat cups with laurels so hardy

Let Larry, Moe, and Curly gouge out their eyes
the peace sign knocked us down past knee or thighs

While Shep and sheppards flash their dairy aire
Doing hard time with them, we souls Lucky Pierre
