Silent Charmers (The Poem)

“All I saw, heard, felt, for years was,”

Scientific worker bees performing their buzz,”

Master Royal Kauffman told his trusting cuddly fuzz,

Stuffed with love

Blessed heaven above

Medical residents, came and went

Message sent

They know about you

Research studies, need to be true

Quiet RK, he did wait

Wanting everything, documented straight

Talking not a word

Only to his compatriot, friendly bird,

Magically, insured

“Everything is all right

Follow my guiding light,”

Ideas spun in RK’s head

Warning RK, careful not to tread

Due to being scared

About a situation diagnosed unfair

Grounded, the huggable plush toy, never flies away

Relationship here to stay

Glaring RK thought

Communication, the fowl faithfully caught

“We are in this together

And will weather

Reality’s silent storm”

Creating a stance, RK made when born

Stating, ‘mad you are here’

Conveying message, you're not showing fear

Experimenting with something new

Challenging them, all wearing blue

Presenting mouth shut

“You know what

Let others figure it out,

Why would RK attempt to shout?”

Testing finally complete

Results gained, created healthy dialogue heat

RK found a drink

Monitoring the white jackets think

Before issuing his trademark wink

Making the strangers investigate harder

Reaction for the martyr

“What could it be?

He can really see

Hearing has its power

Receiving signal sounds, inside its tower

Also, a prick

Did the trick

He feels

So, what is the deal

Where is his voice?

Maybe he is doing this by choice”

Information they sorted

Then reported

Back home, music box turns on

RK felt very calm

Watching Cossegio appear

His loving imaginary ballet dear

He stared

She cared

And bared

Enduring the mission

She listened

Before performing a dance

Keeping RK in his tranquil trance

Bedtime soon arrived

RK went to sleep without a tearful cry

Since he did the job

Off to rest with God

Until the morning hour

And RK returns, stronger, never the coward
