 Raquel and Irene

DON´T TELL ME THAT I TALK TOO MUCH!

Don´t tell me that I talk too much!
Don´t say it!
Don´t you dare!
I only say important things
Like why it´s rainning where.
Or when or how or why or what.
Migth happen here or there.
And why a thing is this or that.
And who is bound to care.
So don´t tell me I talk too much!
Don´t say it!
Don´t you dare!










THE LIZARD

The lizard a timid thing.
That cannot dance or fly or sing;
he huts for bugs beneath the floor
and long to be a dinosaur.
