2 Postcard Poems

 

            Three gentlemen at the bookstore, 
            What do you think they look for?
            Maybe a guide
            On how to decide
            Which kind of hat suits them more.

            Do you think it too early to dine? 
            That cabbage looks truly divine.
            Perhaps just a nibble--
            I'd rather have kibble!
            Oh, I suppose for a dog that's just fine.

                    Tortoise with a Difference, 1960

                    John Drysdale
