Height is so unfair not to have.

 

Brown hens devour each other

while we eat their eggs

 

Dead birds, half-eaten squirrels.

 

I'd rather a white feather came through

the door than a telegram

 

War and more war:

If only we fought like real cats and dogs,

politics would be pointless -

we could agree to disagree

and nobody would die.

 

War-time: less suicides

and everybody has a cross.

 

Ice-cutting causes dithering

 

An innocent theft and sixteen years of love...

A child and a dog.
