Mending

When I need to mend my heart,
from each anguish newly made.
A tranquil place will play a part,
so I have to seek the shade.

Resting as I start to read,
under a tree and by the brook.
Imagination's all I need,
imagination and a book.

Dodo Bird

Dodo bird, where have you gone?

a flightless fowl and so distinct.

We can not find you any more,

why did you have to go extinct?

Discovered there upon a time,

on the island of Mauritius.

you welcomed them, with open wings

till they found you so delicious.

Why didn't you all just run away,

it's so hard to understand.

Least I can visit when I read,

all 'bout Carroll's Wonderland.
