Decorum

          

 

For the sake of the trees "

And their sweet impossibilities  

To grow any bigger than the mountain!

 

For the sake of the geese"

And a wild honking grandniece,

Whose voice is doubly lost by the fountain?

 

For the sake of the pear"

Dangling about to plummet mid-air!

And the bride about to lose, her delicate, footing.

 

For the sake of the mouse "

And the roaring of a lion, aboding in-house!

Can we pray that there’s nothing-

More …. Or else!!!
