Chased By a Chihuahua By Radrook

Chased by a Chihuahua by Radrook [ A childhood memory.]


O little Chihuahua so tiny but fierce,

why did you provide me with memory of fear?

Why must I recall you, pursuing galore, 

until I could almost evade you no more?


How did I deserve all your bitterest ire? 

Your rampaging anger, your hatred entire?

Could you not control all your fierceness just once?

and let me retire by luck or by chance?


Why did you continue a hunting me down,

and make me appear like a scared circus clown,

with eyeballs a bulging from out off my face,

and a heart that was pounding in utter disgrace?


Why not just permit me to go waltzing by

and rather go chasing some other quaint guy?

Why did I deserve that you come after me

so furiously fast and so persistently?


Oh little chihuahua so ready to bite,

with little dog body, so ready to fight

Why not let me pass? Why not let me be?

Why did you decide to begin hunting me?
