Rhyme and Reason's tiny Island at:

Rhyme and Reason Art Gallery

All of our tiny huts are
on this little island in the
middle of this lake.
They are back a little way from
the water's edge.
We walk the winding paths daily,
and dip the lake's clean, clear
water for a cool drink.
Look at these
long-limbed willow trees;
We sit beneath them
in the moonlight.
Sometime we stay all night talking,
singing, sleeping, then together we
watch the sun rise up in the morning.

are you sure?

"Are you sure?"
"Sure I'm sure,"
"But do you
know you're right?"
"Of course!"
"Oh yeah!?" How do you
know you are right?"
"I know because I tossed a coin.
I said, "head's it'll be this,
tails, it'll be that,"
Then I reached into a rabbit and
pulled out a hat.
I looked all around to see if I could see
If anyone else could see if they could see me,
I tossed the coin high
as high as the sky
It landed and rolled up
To a color-wheel pie
There it stood up
Straight up on it's edge
So I had to go kick it out
And off of the ledge.
It landed with a plop in a pot of porridge then
To pull it outta there woulda been a turrible sin,
So I took out two straws, a long one and a short
Took them to the king, took them to the court;
The short one came up the winner you see
And that's how the right choice was given to me!
