THE BIRDS HAVEN’T GOT TEETH

The birds haven’t got teeth,
with the peaks them enough.
The birds catch fishes
without net or cane.
The birds, like the angels,
have wings.
The birds are artists
when they sing.
The birds paint the air
in the morning.
At night
they are musicians asleep
in the branches.
It’s a pity to see a bird in the cage.

How to Draw a Child

To draw a child,
we must do it with love.
Draw him a long fringe,
eating a wafer,
a lot of freckles on his face,
to let us know he is naugthy,
let’s continue the picture:
cheese round face.
Because he is a trendy boy,
drinks syrup with soda water.
Wears a pair of jeans
with a beautiful hole;
t-shirt
and a little corduroy flat cap.
Football boots,
at shooting, he is an artist.
He is laughing all the time,
because he is very intelligent,
a tale under his arm,
that’s why he is having fun.
To draw a child,
we must do it with love.
