inside your sleepy heads
so take a hint from this lament
and snug yourselves abed!

My Mama bought a Heffalump
he's very very sweet
a sunny afternoon upon
our balcony we meet.
He whispers silly things to me

Oh come closer children and soon you will know
the daylightin' rumbles of Rev'em Up Jo
she motored about taking all of her fun
while scattering cats sending dogs on the run.
A meanstreak . . . more

for the children grand
to make my fate.

a cod and a salmon to munch
when quick to the table

Horizons dots
grown distant,
fading to invisible,
marching into battles
of their own.
Grown in mind
if not in mettle

Friends come and go as they please,
True friends are rare indeed,
The ones who show up when you are in need.

Mr. Hedgehog
At the bottom of the garden,
Hiding underneath a bush,
Lives a gentle little hedgehog,
He's sleeping so please shush!

For his Death point or moment of seperation.
The Jains have santhara,
Quitting life consciously to join with the paramatma.
