Slide on over, Stupid
Pooky-Bear thinks
he’s smart as a wink
when he’s dumb as any ol’ hound
He has her flamboozled,
that he’s sharp as a poodle
When I’ve searched and no brain can be found
And it’s all cause he’s talking
when they should be out walking
as if talking could make him unique
When there’s oodles of creatures
who spout off like preachers
but don’t say a thing you’d repeat.
In fact it’s the mutt
who keeps his trap shut
which garners my deepest esteem
Lying silent with pride
at his master’s side
without reiterating every damned thing.
But that’s not my lot
this dog that I’ve got’s
endlessly running mouth
Has put us in trouble
with us boys sleeping double
out in the freakin’ dog house
Spotted Tree-Hugger
Lazy day-z
breezy tree-z
I stretch and I yawn out my nap
Which little vermin
sleazy and greasy
will find their way into my trap
I creep and I prowl
under moonlight and owl
hunting the grass and the reeds
Stalking the night
and hunting a fight
until I've fulfilled all my needs
The arch in my back
just before I attack
leads to a twitch in my tail
My dripping teeth burn
past the point of return
and at this point I know I can't fail
I feast and I gorge
on the soul I absorb
while the grass that surrounds comes alive
The dogs start to circle
as the morning turns purple
and the thieves glowing eyes arrive
My goodbyes to the darkness
time to donate the carcass
and make my way back to my tree
A stretch and a kick
and a yawn and a lick
well earned lazy day-z for me
It’s not मर्कट
It purrs but it's not
any sort of Domestic
short hair or long hair
or Cheetah if you please
neither Siamese nor
Chihuahua nor Labrador
nor Pug though it does
come in packs of three,
or seven, or even thirty,
though it's not called that,
but two's a "mob," and yet,
it does just fine
on its own, as a pet
not quite legal, only
merely so... it chatters,
even spits and growls
or barks in alarm..!
It's not much of a poet
though it does favor
William S. Burroughs
in a way, and breeds
in heavy rainy seasons
as much as it digs...
all of southern Africa
with light striped brindle
It's not a ferret, nor
lizard, though mostly
insectivorous ...
It doesn't do so
very well indoors
being all so very curious
On hind legs with pointed snout
it's even shaped something
like a question mark
It's not quite this
nor quite that
It's merely... a...?
