Light Verse Happy Trio A woman and her dog (A mongrel, black as coal) Once asked the shining moon To go out for a stroll. The moon—it led the way, The woman sang a song, The dog just wagged its tail While sauntering along. They savored it so much, That now, 'bout every night, They walk their fav'rite path To mutual delight. And if the moon's not there, The woman and her dog Sit dreaming without end Of their celestial friend. Zhanna P. Rader   Inspired by: walking with the moon, an old woman and her dog robert wilson     My Shadow   My shadow hesitated: To follow me or not. It dragged its feet behind me While staggering a lot. You'd think it drank some vodka Together with me, when I visited a tavern This afternoon again. I talked with it a little, We also sang a song. My walk was jolly happy And did not seem that long... To have your own companion Of pleasant mood and deed When going home for supper— What better do you need? Zhanna P. Rader   Inspired by: following me home, a reluctant shadow robert wilson     Beneath the Fog There on the street, Somebody's dog Eyes walking feet Beneath the fog: Dark feet or fair, Some big, some small, Some plainly bare— No shoes at all. Somebody's dog Sits on the street Beneath the fog, Eyes walking feet.   Inspired by: beneath the fog feet going this way and that way robert wilson
