The poetry begins...

The Plight of the Panda

Or

Why Sociopaths don’t understand what they’re doing is wrong:

HALLELLUJAH! he yelled, I’m finally at peace!

Said the big panda bear eating mac n’cheese.

That’s really all I’ve wanted this live long day,

But they gave me bamBOO and told me to go away.

Unfortunately for them, my wants are much like needs,

And for me to be happy I NEED that mac n’cheese!

Maybe if they’d give it to me, I wouldn’t be so cranky.

Maybe if they’d give it to me, they’d see me much more frankly.

I thought these things with zeal for my sumptious necessary meal,

And suddenly like in a dream my wish became a charm. 

And a little boy was listening my mac m’cheesy yarn. 

My wish traveled through the air like dandelion seeds,

Into the nerdy little nose that really needed to sneeze.

So little henry james sudden like the wind he knew,

That mac n’cheese was MY calling, MY choice of whiskey brew

And thus I’m in my happy place,

Grins dapple the pictures of my face,

Cause little Henry James heard the call

That some are not like one and all

That some like things different and that’s ok.

Let’s love ‘em for being any old way!

Don’t tell them they’re CRAZY cause they’re not like you!

That’s the story henry james is telling to you!

Hey! Maybe YOU’D really like bamboo!?!?!

Good Luck finding someone to give it to you!

So this was one of the first poems I ever wrote. I hope it can be a book for kids one day.  Complete with illustrations and of course without the subtitle.  

Also,  I recently came across this video and the embodiment of my crazy panda bear came true. I'm totally psychic.  check it out: never say no to panda in the supermarket oh god and this one is even better: never say no to panda in the office
