To Satisfy An Itch
"That dog's a menace to the community.
I'm taking her to the sheriff to make sure she's destroyed."
-- Miss Almira Gulch,
a citizen taxed,
speaking of a pet owner
* * *
As sheriff of the county Chasing Rainbows you decide
if Miss Almira Gulch still all but lame on being bit
de facto is a wicked witch in loathing to abide
one mangy little pigtailed ret*rd dressed in gingham sh*t
who daily in Miss Gulch's poppy garden off a rope
uncouthly buries monkey bones or hikes a leg to whi*z
or cr*ps a yellow brick of tapeworms of one widescreen scope
or bursts out into showtunes as she f*rts to do her biz
till with the stealer of each scene straight skipping off to screw --
the ill-bred b*tch a house of littered Totos drops on you.
* * *
a dedication of Respect
for
the Pain of each unnecessary pet --
no owner being potty trained
a revolving helios rhyme menippean satire on
the wicked old ideology irresponsible of breeding
conscious,
feeling
"fur babies"
for playthings
march, 2023 -- yet each year on this side of the rainbow
the Reality in the united states alone (including kansas) of approximately
5.4 million witchy cats --
aside from 1.2 million Totos too --
ding-dong dead in the ditch
