Do cod fish know they’re in Cape Cod?
Nod, at home beneath the cape?
Smile to go into the stew?
Knew they’d see potatoes too?
Do eels know they’re in Eel River?
And lobsters in the Sound?
Do they say “it’s far-thur
Than you swim?” with Bostonian “a”?

I can see clearly now-
My i-phone too;
It is Nantucket’s Sound

Who knew the view could do

Animals in the sky
Animals on the cliff
Animals growling next to me
Ready for a tiff.
Yesterday I checked out: “Jungle Drums” by Graeme Base from the childrens’ library. Every spread has wonderful animals hidden and ready for action.

Sibling Rivalry
The four year old likes to collect wild flowers and poses with her 2 year old brother.
Note the posture as she pushes him against the wall, arm around him and the flowers.
He literally “looks up” at her. And smiles a pained grin of submission, head cast back in adoration/resentment. How can he compete at half her size? Later he will be taller, shoulders wider and wise in the knowledge that power resides not in size but in spirit. By then, we’ll see not leader and minion, but 2 warriors side by side.
