He and his lady
stare up at the tree
what is that?
They stand
on the sidewalk
alongside the delivery truck
as men unload
sodas and water
in 5 gallon jugs
What is that
says the “Silver Ghost”
with blue starlit eyes
I look too
but I see nothing
I was expecting a bird
or a squirrel
Both he and his lady
are transfixed,
oblivious
to all movement around them
What is that
I wanted to know
Note: “Silver Ghost” is one of the names for the Weimaraner.

This 6×6 inch deer
could fit inside your shoe
unlike Thumbelina or Tinkerbell
he was born at the Queens Zoo
(google images)
It’s hard to be upset or sad
when looking at this fellow
he can calm the worried heart
and make the Angry mellow
The smallest deer species in the world
He prefers solitude and likes to hide
He sprints and jumps with savoir faire
And barks when danger abides
Well that’s the story of the pudu
I hope it makes you smile
and transports you from mundanities
If only for a while
Suburban Hobo
