My Cousin Purest T Honey Dog
The worst part of being put in the pokey
Is being labelled for the rest of your life
It’s a lot harder to be carefree and joke-y,
And it is truly difficult to procure your next wife.
They take your paw prints in a rough way.
No one says sorry, or have a nice day.
They manhandle you making you wear paw-cuffs.
And make you wear striped pajamas and other bad stuffs.
What did you do? I asked my cousin Purest T. Honey Dog.
I really don’t know, he said. Maybe butchered a hog?
A hog? I asked. Nothing else? Surely this cannot be.
I have no idea what I killed. I was truly too drunk to see.
I found out later that Purest T. Honey Dog had gone on a spree.
He had killed the King’s men, all of them, total six hundred and tree.
Now I was in awe of my uncle, because he had beat Big Baddie’s record.
He has no idea how he did it, which I believe to be totally absurd.
