If..Then.. poem 2013

Dear Everyone:

This is my latest poem.

IF..THEN..

If fish flew and birds swam
Then planets might collide
at the disorder of things
Basically don't rock the boat
Just toe the line
Heed the cautionary note
and never wake a sleeping child
If rocks spoke-probably in Gaelic
and water walked along confidently
Then would you exhibit confusion
I certainly would
My eyes laugh at the upside-downness
of it all
And then for a moment I feel fear
Put it all back
and it will be restored
I am thankful


Helen.
