The Monarchs are here!

Her first born

Came out in parts

The head was vaginal

And the rest of it

Through a ceasarian 

The doctor made

A boo boo

Couldnt get all

The first time

Then went in surgically

Delivered in two parts

Two seperate parts

A baby needs to be in one part

Mother not in two

You keep telling me

Jimmy is a doctor

But these modern ones

Don't know what they are doing

Nor are they qualified

To use a scalpel

As the old Dr Kildare

Commented to a new recruit

If you have to depend on blood

Then you are not qualified

To be in his surgery!

Of course, they retired 

The old coot

No one bothers 

Anymore to learn

New techniques

Much less old ones.

They just want a magical pill

To give their patient

And hope for the best

Ah, the lifestyle

Of a medical doctor

With huge loans

They will never pay off.

But want us little ones

Who have no debt

But have a lesser income

To understand they are god.

Meanwhile these small

Creatures with smaller brains

Migrate every year

From the West coast

To the hills of Mexico

And back again

All this without GPS

Nor a map

And not even thier mother

Or grandpa

Guiding them.

Yep, they are new

To the world

Having a life cycle

Less than a year

But the cocoons

They come out of

Til the spread 

Thier wings for the first time

And learn to fly around

They also know 

When it is time

To move on to the next place

And land in the same 

Neighborhood 

Every year

Thousands of miles

Apart without being told

Preprogrammed 

I guess we could say.

A miracle of life

A marvel of the animal world

While humans are still

Attemting to explain

They had no maker

By claiming the monkey

Is thier god

I mean thier ancestor

When anyone who takes

And passes their basic 

Biogoligy course

That the feline 

Is closer relatead to us

Then the primate

But they do walk

On their hinds legs

And explain things to us

Both by vocalizing

And by other means.

Some even get into a mode

Of allowing us to believe

We are communicating with them.

Considered one of the smartest.

On earth.

Meanwhile people

Are jumping into the ocean

In orders to avoid

The fire on the big island

Of Hawaii

Which is nothing more

Than a sea mountain

Rising from the floor

Of the ocean

Might not be the best

Thing to count on not 

Being set on fire

But we want to complain

When our neighborhood

Is undergoing

Natural disasters

Because someone has built

On top of a marsh

Or a harbor

Such as downtown

San Diego

Which is all of it

Waiting for the real 

Water line to reemerge

Which is out there

Where a few sharks

Following the tuna boats

Maybe some men

Should think twice

Before they jump

Where they cant get out

Another thing that happened

Is a man who made credible

Threats against the President

Got shot in the raid on his home

This morning and is now dead

Instead of the President.

Gives one pause to wonder

How many have said things

And not gottten caught.

I was sitting in a breakfast

Place when a group 

On the other side 

Began to talk about

Going to Washington

And teaching them a lesson

They did not threaten the President

But used him in order to raid

The Capital building

One of the more vocal

Was the first one to get 

Her head popped.

I remember her sitting there

And looking over at me

Who had just returned

From my trip

Where I was knocked down

While talking and walking

With someone I once knew

She is now dead.

Cokie Roberts

We were both the first

Foreign correspondents

Not flashy soriety girls

Who can afford to put

A plane ticket on thier card

And hop over where they dont

Belong in order to claim

To have been there

Instead of being sent

To investigate

What is going on

Without any backup

PBS news 

Is where there was once

A girl who wanted to 

Walk in her grandmothers shoes

Only to find too many

Trouble makers 

Demanding they are my daughters

And now are doing nothing 

But harming everyone

Causing uprisings

Everywhere they step.

Watch!

The Monarchs 

Are passing through....
