ZEST
ZEBRA
ZONK

Zander the zebra had no zest for life,
All he wanted was to sleep without strife.

Day in and day out, he did just that,
Until he met a zebra who wouldn’t hear.

With nudges and laughter, she got him to play,
“Come on, dear Zander, let’s brighten the day!”

With each joyful prance beneath the sun’s light,
Zander’s heart sparked with newfound delight.

Now mornings bring smiles, and adventures to take,
Zander the zebra awakes for life’s sake!

Age of Foreclosure

Loss of home and hope
In foreclosure’s cruel grip
Dreams shattered and lost.
Gone are all the happy times
No one owns homes anymore…

UPHEAVAL
MOCKERY
JOKER

In a world full of upheaval,
Lived a joker with no retrieval.
He made the crowd laugh, oh what a spree,
With silly pranks and mockery!

His antics brightened the darkest day,
Turning frowns into smiles in a jolly way.
So, let’s join the fun, let laughter prevail,
In a topsy-turvy, jester-filled tale!
