1. Keen Logic
Papa eagle finally swooped
Down to the nest
Where his baby was due.
He had been, moments ago,
Collecting grub by Chumchum cool,
At the spot where a hundred pebbles
Recited the Vedas in their gurgles.
When he did arrive
By his precocious offspring,
Was he surprised…?!
Perplexed by the ancient logic,
He could only chastise…

2. A Song in Red
The Red Mountain was the apple
Of the eyes of all
Who romped in Jungle Mungle.
When a bird or animal
Came visiting, they were escorted
To the mountain top
From where the view was phenomenal.
When a crane Siberian,
Alighted on a pine one morning…
He was besotted by a voice,
Sweet as cider but hidden…

3. Upstart Tree
In Jungle Mungle, some grow gnarly and thick,
A few slender, others tall…
But without exception… each tree knows
Who’s the queen of them all.
Trees here, with trees compete,
But one day winds fleet
Brought a strange seed
Who threatened to make the ruler obsolete…
