God Only Knows
after the umpteenth
day of rest god
messed up not
paying mind
to Adam's
naming
game
on that same exact
day of days was
created not one
but two birds
one doomed
and to be
used
in meaning not so
worthy absurdly
to become
extinct but
not from
his now
known
name but from dogs
pigs and people
not stupidity as
we all take from
history saying
the name
dodo
but the other bird that
on that day of days
later in the evening
came out so
contrary
even
more
then a canary swearing
it could speak because
this bird's tweet so
to speak from out
its beak was
not a
dog
but the mew of certainly
a positively confused
bird trying to contact
even attract his
foe a cat
so that
Adam
without a gasp or question
never asked but simply
named this bird
tip your
black
cap
a
god
never
made a
dogbird
stay silent
and stay still
you dodo Catbird
