Truly Affluent

In the animal kingdom, affluence is measured in ides.

The Lion is king, because of the pride in his pride.

The Giraffe is the oversight committee because he's a giraffe and takes the long strides.

The Zebra is the messenger because of his stripes (messengers always get it Slightly wrong).

The Mink is the opposition party, for he hides in his hide.

The Alligator is the savvy underdog, biding his time in the great divide.

And what of the idling house cat? Airs are not for him!

Wedding Bells

With tea-in-lap, so carefully.

What a moment in the on-the-wing life of Ms. Who-goes-there-thout-me?-I'm-an-adventurer!

'Twas a giant of a fellow who could so effectively mellow, Ms. Goes-with-a-wheelbarrow!

In the cracks of his teeth, the giant man show-ed his true mettle, to Ms. I-refuse-to-be-settle!

He show-ed to her, with a Nile of a smile, all that she loathed, and abhorred, till she became Mrs. Betrothed-and-adored.

To Want

A man once yearned for a yearnal. Alas, 'twas his earn'st that taught him no good. Now, he calmly awaits the yearnals.
