I Like Pants

“I Like Pants”

By Marshal Younger

I put on pants every day
To go to school or to play
I like pants

Sometimes I wear pants of blue
Or dream to go with my shoe
I like pants

Sometimes I feel sorry for ants
Because they can’t wear pants
I like Pants

Pants cover my legs so that I can go
Without them I would be cold, I know
I like Pants
I like them so.

This isn’t a place for ducklings
Mrs. Mallard said
Swimming across the lake
While looking for a new home

Mrs. Mallard said
We need a quiet place
While looking for a new home
Somewhere without bikes

We need a quiet place
Somewhere without snapping turtles
Somewhere without bikes
Somewhere without foxes in the wood

Somewhere without snapping turtles
Swimming across the lake
Somewhere without foxes in the wood
This isn’t a place for ducklings

Pantoum on The Creepy Woman

Stay away from the Creepy Woman
She comes in any season
Says things that don’t make sense
There is no way to stop her

She comes in any season
She says you must divide
There is no way to stop her
Community is her pride

She says you must divide
“More houses for more people,” she says
Community is her pride
More people for more taxes

“More houses for more people,” she says
Says things that don’t mke sense
More people for more taxes
Stay away from the Creepy Woman

Poem on everyday heroism

Who is the hero of our day?

Certainly, not the hero of yesterday,

Whose role is already played.

But the hero whom our day calls

Is the hero who gives time,

And whose willingness to give his minutes,

Even the years of his prime

Makes him more a hero than he who gives his millions.

Who makes more of a difference, he who uplifts another soul,

Or he who helps his brethren poor?
