Do Manatees Make Wishes?
By Jonathan Sellars
Do manatees make wishes when they see a shooting star?
Do centipedes see lightning bolts and know just what they are?
Do arctic hares all gather round to watch the northern lights?
Do squirrels stay up late to see the moon on cloudless nights?
Do donkeys dream of soaring over snow-capped mountain peaks?
Do lobsters long to feel a gentle breeze upon their cheeks?
Do quails ever question why the earth just keeps revolving?
Do penguins ever ponder why each species keeps evolving?
Do gophers get excited if they see a snowflake falling?
Do anteaters appreciate the sounds of songbirds calling?
Do vultures visit waterfalls because they like the view?
We’ll never know for sure,
But I really hope they do.
Tomorrow
By Jonathan Sellars
Tomorrow I’m going to face dragons,
Tomorrow I’m going to tame beasts,
Tomorrow I’m going to invite the whole world
To the greatest and grandest of feasts,
Tomorrow I’m going to reveal
How nothing is quite what it seems,
Tomorrow I’m going to take nightmares
And transform them all into dreams,
Tomorrow I’m going to seize power
And share it between each and all,
Tomorrow I’m going to move mountains
No matter how wide or how tall.
But right now I’m feeling quite tired,
Because right now it’s getting quite late,
And right now I’m yawning and closing my eyes,
So right now tomorrow can wait.
That Cloud
By Jonathan Sellars
That cloud looks like a spaceship,
That cloud looks like a cat,
That cloud looks like a microchip,
That cloud looks like a hat,
That cloud looks like a house,
That cloud looks like a bow,
That cloud looks like a mouse,
That cloud looks like a crow,
That cloud looks like a bear,
That cloud looks like a train,
And that big dark black cloud over there,
Well, that cloud looks like rain.
Where Do Ideas Come From?
By Jonathan Sellars
Where do ideas come from?
Where do ideas go?
Is there a land of ideas?
Is that where ideas grow?
Why are there some I remember?
Why are there some I forget?
And when will I have a good one?
Because I still haven’t had one yet.
