Staring Back at Each Other

As we drive along

We stop and look

At the beauty of you

You look back at us

Watching us closely

While chewing the cud

As I sit and watch

I start to wonder

What is going through your mind?

Do you think?

Who are these creatures?

Staring back at you?

Do you think?

What is that weird metal thing?

Getting in your way?

You are probably just thinking

You weird people

Just go and leave me alone!

Come to Drink

We come together

At the watering hole

To have a drink

And a splash

Here is you and me

And ma and da

Enjoying the sun

And having a rest

It has been a hard morning

Trudging through the grass

Looking for some water

Amidst the dry ground

But here we are at last

Some water for us to drink

To quench our thirst

And clean our dusty feed

Wild Dogs

I was tired

So I stayed in bed

And you went on

And while I saw

The back of my eyelids

You saw the dogs which were wild

Playing in the water

Splashing around

Annoying the zebras

Trying to protect their young

But all the dogs wanted to do

Was have a bit of fun
