![]() Quicksand For Birthday BoyA Poem by Earl Schumacker![]() Birthday wishes gone wrong. Give the boy a hand.![]() Quicksand For Birthday Boy
Quicksand works efficiently in the jungle No need to give applause for nothing new The vanishing act begins when you step in Give Birthday boy a hand for being 30 There is no rope, no vines, no hope for miles
Another fragile family member disappears The lineage broken like a branch by sinking As quickly as the quicksand works its magic Who knows when something goes so wrong Jungles certainly don't understand or care
Mysteries abound above the canopy tops So beautiful and out of touch this time of year Invisibility is a way of life up in the wild Below the feet things go missing frequently
It was not the kind of party birthday boy imagined He was promised pretty girls and helium balloons He wished for something better, something different A walk in nature for example would be nice Let the search party begin and watch your step The ground is wet. Quickly now. It's getting dark © 2019 Earl Schumacker |
