I bought a black banana,
And a broken baseball bat. A burst balloon, a busted boat, A beat-up bowler hat. I wasn’t being brainy, bright, or brilliant, but you see, My brain was boggled after Being bitten by a bee. Three Grey Geese by Mother Goose
Three grey geese in a green field grazing, Grey were the geese and green was the grazing. |

I see zebras from Zimbabwe zipping all around the zoo. I see Zeus up in the zodiac, a zillion zithers too. There are zephyrs blowing zeppelins that are zooming near and far. There are zealots counting zeroes in a zone near Zanzibar. There are Zulus wearing zoot suits eating zwieback and zucchini plus a zombie with a zipper on his zinnia bikini. Yes, I always have the zaniest most zonked-out dreams like these, because every time I go to sleep I try to catch some Z’s. — Kenn Nesbitt |
