Burch We have five dogs and every one’s a sinner! I swear it’s true—they’ll steal each other’s dinner! They’ll hump before they’re married. That’s unlawful! They’ll even screw in public. Eek, so awful! And when it’s time for treats (don’t gasp!), they’ll beg! They have no pride! They’ll even hump your leg! Our oldest Yorkie murdered dear, sweet Olive, our helpless hamster! None will go to college or work to pay their room and board, or vets! When the Devil says, “Pee here!” they all yip, “Let’s!” And yet they’re sweet and loyal, so I doubt the Lord will dump them in hell’s dark redoubt . . . which means there’s hope for you, perhaps for me. But as for cats? I say, “Best wait and see.” The Arrival of the Sea Lions by Michael R. Burch The sound of hounds resounds in the sound. Hounds Impounded by Michael R. Burch The sound of hounds resounds in the pound. Monarch by Michael R. Burch I had a little caterpillar, it wove a cocoon for its villa. When I blinked an eye what did I espy? It flew off, a regal butterfly! After the Poetry Recital by Michael R. Burch Later there’ll be talk of saving whales over racks of lamb and flambéed snails. Nonsense Ode to Chicken Soup by Michael R. Burch Chicken soup is fragrant goop in which swims the noodle’s loop, sometimes in the shape of a hula hoop! So when you’re sick, don’t be a dupe: get out your spoon, extract a scoop. Quick, down the chute and you’ll recoup!
