There was this
fuzzy
little funny
worm
I
watched one day
turn and squirm
as if bitten by some
carnivorous germ


It was then I decided
To do my tribal dance
And
Place my worm friend
In a trance

I proceeded to
Shout
Stomp
and
Prance

  Lost my doggie
Could not find him
Looked at store fronts
Looked behind them -
             *
Checked the hydrants
Checked the trees
Doggies visit
Such as these -
             *
where -Oh- where
Did you gone
I have searched so hard
I have searched so long -
            *
Flights of fancies
Non-remembers
The mind recedes
As dying embers -
          *
----- Oh --------
Oskermyer
I love you still 

         *
----- Oh --------
There you are
Cooking on the grill

Beans on sticks
