Walking in the Woods

March 26, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I found a couple bogus hands
Lying under a tree in the woods.

I had been walking for a while
Listening to the sounds I made

As I tapped the tree mushrooms
I call the bookshelves of the woods.

The hands looked new and peculiar.
I poked one and then the other,

And finding both suitably clean,
I decided to take one home.

The other I left for the future,
To another such as myself.
