Try To Be Smart
Stop trying to be clever,
and try to be smart
The coyote said
to the fox
The hunters are coming,
the bounty’s been offered
Their traps are all baited
and boxed
Stop trying to be clever,
and try to be smart
The coyote to the fox
said again
There’s a reason your fur
is always in season
And mine, never coated
—or skinned
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
