My Pet
A pet gargoyle.
Has carved out eyes.
Follows you around.
Haunted.
Jumps around throughout time and space.
Yet doesn’t seem to move at all.
Heavy wings.
Waits for the right time.
If you pat his head?
He growls.
But you think it’s a hallucination.
There’s nothing better than a pet gargoyle.
He sure is haunted.
He usually keeps his evil energy to himself.
Sometimes you can sense him grumbling and muttering.
Evil claws and a weird looking face.
Lifeless unless he’s following you.
A pet gargoyle.
Might decide not to haunt you.
And that’s all you can ask for.
