Anatomy of a Century Old Dairy Barn


and on his farm he had a cow

faded grey and silver an old barn sleeps

ee-i-ee-i-o

ignored by the highway nearing its end

with a moo-moo here

cow stanchions bull pen horse stalls are empty

and a moo-moo there

there was a time when the loft was full of hay

here a moo there a moo

weary hinges hanging tired windows slightly slanted

everywhere a moo-moo

now a lofty condo for pigeons

Old Macdonald had a farm

ee-i-ee-i-o

Anatomy of a Canadian Summer Garden

robin’s song at daybreak

oh..! spring has come to our garden

with silver bells and cockle-shells

floating lazily through summer sun

and pretty maids all in a row

sprinkling paintbrush dripping with colour

Anatomy of a Potato Patch
one potato two potato

I think they must see a lot

three potato four

they have so many eyes

five potato six potato

of what is going on in the earth

seven potato more

famine arrived as the proletarian potato failed
the bloodless sacrifice had begun
