This is a nonsense children's poem for my daughter.
It's a poem, in fact, I was working on last February
when I was at the Ruth Stephan Poetry Studio.
I was here for about a week.
I don't know if I'll be asked back.
This is a poem called Doctor in the Horse, House, Mouse.
"Is there a doctor in the horse?
There's a lady in the horse.
A doctor, a lady, a horse.
Is there a doctor in the--
there's a lady in the--
A doctor, a lady a--
there's a lady in the--
a doctor in the mouse.
Lady in the doctor.
There's a lady in the mouse.
A doctor in the lady.
A horse, doctor, lady.
Is there, there-- there's a lady in the mouse.
A doctor.
Doctor in the house.
Doctor, lady, horse, house, house.
Is there, there-- there's a doctor in the horse.
House in the doctor.
Lady in the mouse.
Doctor, a lady, horse, house.
Mouse in the horse.
Horse.
Horse in the mouse.
Doctor in the doctor.
Lady in the lady.
House in the house.
Mouse in the horse.
Doctor in the lady, in the lady, in the lady.
Mouse, mouse.
