more flies
fly in
than they do out
they must like head butting windows
what’s that
all about?
more flies
fly in
than they do out
they must like head butting windows
what’s that
all about?
with pets
comes joy
and bills
for vets
unconditional love
hair
and puke
but certainly no regrets
your bark
is not as bad as mine
said the maple
to the dog
so please
don’t urinate on me
or I may end up
like a log
I stick
my neck out
for you
said the giraffe
to the mouse
but I can’t see
no cheese
no skirting board
and I don’t see
no house
Say cheese!
said the girl
to the parrot
and the parrot said:
Say cheese!
a wasp
can’t help
being a wasp
and neither can Sting
do not come
to my house
I said to the mouse
as you snitched
on my cat
you dirty rat…
a little effort
goes a long way
when you crawl
from New York
to LA
most people
are
mostly people
but for a few,
the animals
that I knew…
I’m stuck on you
said Remora to the shark
I will follow you
into the deep
and in the dark
your screechy
raspy chatter
wakes me up
with querulous
clatter
harsh
shrieking
blare
I hear your racket
everywhere
outcry
rebel yell
before dawn
too early
false alarm
raucous piercing
repeatedly
to distraction
I shout BUGGAR OFF!
but get no reaction
Harvey the Hog
and Jeffrey the Jackal
were looking for femmes
to put in a shackle
lured by fame
they tricked them with tricks
demanding indecent proposals
to do with their pricks
the molested femmes
took the animals to court
ensuring their stay
in a restrained resort
Jeffrey got hanged
by petrified peers
leaving hog Harvey crippled
by shame and fears
