Ferdinand's Elm
A grey seal, with grace of an eel
A white gull, not big but small
A green giraffe so very tall
someone's confused, we're in a mall
Do Selfridges sell fridges?
Does Marmaduke build bridges?
Do malls have ridges?
Do peregrines feel?
Why knot? Why not?
Why do it in the road?
Build budges, brittle spot
That glistens on the toad...
Peaceful, podlike
swimming with the dolphin
Into the waves of infinite bliss
Lost in a lover's dreamlike kiss.
