a spontaneous creation
of damp
spread
and left across the nation
Pets
The damp of a dog turd (the nice version)
early
on a sunny spring’s morn
something beautiful
and odorous was born
Danny the Dalmatian
you’ve spotted me
said Danny
to the overlooking tree
you look
like you are thirsty
so I will kindly wet on thee
I also left you
a fragrance
to freshen up thy bark
so you smell nice
alone
in this landscape oh so stark
Gene pool
mixed by
only a few
we are created
as off spring
amongst ourselves
in a small pool
of genes
by human
intervention
making us weak
not to mention
they did it
with every intention
just for money
not very funny
Do not rattle my cage
“pet me little one,
but do not rattle my cage”
said the lion at the zoo
or I may eat you up
and turn you
into poo
Crackhead
With pets
with pets
comes joy
and bills
for vets
unconditional love
hair
and puke
but certainly no regrets
Your bark
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
Say cheese!
Say cheese!
said the girl
to the parrot
and the parrot said:
Say cheese!
Snitch
do not come
to my house
I said to the mouse
as you snitched
on my cat
you dirty rat…
Party animal
Black dogs matter too
Let sleeping dogs lie
let sleeping dogs lie;
never force them
to tell the truth!
Walk with me
walk with me
talk to me
I’ll set you free
I’m your petagree
Catwalk
strutting
his stuff
using his tail
for balance
the cat walks
his daily trail
in a coat
of fur
feeling contented
murmuring
an occasional purrrrrrr
A little awareness
a little awareness
goes a very long way…
just pause,
be conscious
and let time pass away
Few words
I’m a man
of few words…
yet I talk
about the bees and the birds…
they fly
The bird
you blow me away
said the bird
to the wind
and move me
to places
where I need not be
quarantined
Stuck in the elevator
awkward
situation
no rise
no decline
stuck
in the elevator
with you
looking up
to devour me
my precious
alligator
Woof woof
every Sunday
a dog barks
nervously
near the store
she heard it all
too often
a thousand times
before
fed up
of waiting
for the return
of its boss
Jan went out
and shot it
leaving a note:
I’m sorry for your loss
