Poodle
Mr. French poodle sips a Beaujolais
Snubs a nose at the bourgeoisie
So middle class with a café ole in glass
A puffy bulbous tail wags in approval
Groomed to perfection at the salon
It purrs at the proletariat’s amusement
Smiling at the working class
An upper class agenda will not prevail
Is this a pussy cat transgender at last?
Is this man’s best friend about to mate
Or make a puddle by trade or mistake?
Oh what a tangled web we weave
When once we practice to deceive
If God is alive in all His devices
All men would be turned to mice
How nice!
