3 quatrains: 4
Of Our Own Volition
Select our seed and anticipate
The fruits of our success.
Reject our need but deliberate
The tenderest caress ......... of our own volition.
The Moment.
The moment your back is turned
The juniors chatter and squabble.
The moment your back is turned
Illusions shatter and wobble.
Not out of Bounds.
Australia is not out of bounds
To wallabies and kangaroos.
In Europe too, they can be found
At Safari Parks and zoos.
