Bats In the Belfry
I asked a slug
“tell me of beauty”
He passed me a slimy smile
And sped away.
Who would trust a Ferret
With the family jewels?
Do they make tiny Peloton wheels
My hamster is getting fat.
Why is the Mantis praying
And what is it praying for?
Do fat house cats envy the mouse’s freedom?
When a snail gets sick
Does he become a shell of his old self?
She has a certificate to document
Her pet rock is a “Comfort Stone”
Joey B gets little respect because he’s forgotten
where the bodies are buried.
