Senses

A mouth was talking to a Nose and Eye.
A passing listening Ear Said,” Pardon me,
but you spoke so loud,
I couldn’t help but overhear.”
But the Mouth just closed and the Nose turned up And the Eye just looked away,
And the Ear with nothing more to hear Went sadly on its way.

Batty

The baby bat

Screamed out in fright,

"Turn on the dark,

I'm afraid of the light."

Shadow Race

Every time I’ve raced my shadow
When the sun was at my back,
It always ran ahead of me,
Always got the best of me.
But every time I’ve raced my shadow
When my face was toward the sun,
I won.
