Frisky

A nature enthusiast named Errol
Frolicked and gamboled as he
Swung on vines in green apparel.
A metaphor for all times
Akin to a snappy carol
Written by Wodehouse;
Sung by Ella Fitzgerald.

A rhythm to the moment
Of impending peril:
Akin to traversing the falls
In a rain barrel:
Then reading about it later
In the Boston Herald.

Born free is one thing
Staying free is anti-sterile.
Let it all hang out
And scoff at being careful.
Room to roam without leash
Is the essence of feral.
