Il diffuse le bonheur
Par la saveur
De son humour
Enchanteur.

Ce fil conducteur
Prête son concours
À toute heure
Sans heurt.

Lors d’une fâcherie
Il compatie
À la kyrielle de soucis
D’autrui,
Et restaure l’harmonie

Grâce au génie
De ce fureteur
De compromis,

Il déverrouille les esprits
Et dessille les yeux
Des individus résolus
Et endurcis

Aussi bien de ceux
Éperdus et indécis.

Ainsi,
Il dissipe les péripéties.

B.S.O. (auteur)

La majesté des pétales
Parfumées
Emballe les abeilles.

Peu importe le lieu
Le soleil tout lumineux
Parait radieux
Aux jeunes
Tout comme aux vieux.

Il rend même les yeux
Du grincheux heureux.

Le soleil séduit
Et gratifie
Pendent qu’il murit
Les légumes et les fruits.

Le Soleil :
Excellente source
De vitamine D
Solidifie les os
Dans un beau corps
Pour le rendre
Plus fort.

La vénusté florale
Dont s’engoue le cardinal
Durant l’intervalle
Estival le ravit
Lui et le colibri
Pour entamer leurs mélodies
Musicales en chorale.

Puis ceci
Est suivi
Du diminuendo du cricri
Que perdure
De nuit en nuit.
