Obsequious Odor



Brown nose,
head bowed low
Sniffing submissively so

Wag the sniveling tongue,
show the power privileged ones 
much servile love
Catch the prime scraps
tossed from your master’s table

Give a howl of gratitude,
back bent ... eyes to the floor
Do a lot of begging for a little more

Disgruntled windbag gas, 
from the top cat sphincter mouth crack,
wafts in an odious fashion
Pet brown noses love that unappetizing smell
Obsequious odor
is their collared passion 

Pungent leftover scent passed over 
bottom end face down — 
Complete compliance drool dripping 
grovel to the ground

Beggarly you beagle bark
for an extra morsel
Missy gives you a moonshine treat
out the backdoor

Brown nose do as you’re told,
and your belly 
will always stay belch full

Sleepy eyes resting by the Uncle Tom cabin fire,
the odor of rotten servitude pleases you
So in lap tongue love with your desired 
bowel oppression fate

As you dog-eared wait 
for an anticipated olfactory taste
of the next tummy toilet pull

Viciously executed slam of the fawning ferret, FRJ. Truly, he deserves no better, however much one may sympathize with his plight. He lies in a bed of his own making. Powerfully penned, O Poet. Blessings, Gershon

Quiet an intense metaphor I think, Freddie. Candid are your words to describe someone too eager to praise and obey..without being honest..you certainly painted such behavior perfectly. A sharp pen you have my friend!
