Bored, tired and caffeinated, Tiny Red suggested we editors three “write poetry about your favorite animals.”
These four pieces are the collective fruits of about six minutes of creativity:
1. DEFINITIONS
Turkeys are glurkey,
But ducks are the shit.
Kitties are pretty.
Badgers have mitts.
2. BETRAYAL
I like horsies
I like bunnies
I like duckies
FALSE
I do not like duckies
Their feet scare me.
Are they fish or are they bird?
They are unholy.
3. COHABITATION
Why,
Spider?
WHY?
Are your leg parts in my cereal?
Why,
Lizard?
WHY?
Is your skull in my bed?
Why,
CJ?
WHY?
Won’t you stop being disgusting?
4. WHEN THE GATOR ATE MY LEG
When the gator ate my leg
I swore he’d throw it up
In time to get to the hospital.
He didn’t.
When the gator ate my leg
I cursed him with indigestion
And then I remembered my favorite sock.
It’s gone.
When the gator at my leg
I wished diarrhea upon him
But then he pooped in my pool.
It’s gross.
