Weredog, Part Ii

...But of course the sun banished the moon,
Ripper woke his normal size,
his stomach quite big from the rib roast,
but otherwise he seemed fine.
At first, I feared what all this might mean,
I thought that he’d need a cure,
everyone has seen werewolf movies,
but soon enough I had learned
that men may turn to ravenous beasts
in such a situation,
but weredogs don’t face human demons,
just yearn for our attention.

…though the ‘treats’ are getting expensive.

Excellent, David - I really enjoyed that - leaving my comment here on part II, but of course read both. Hope there are more installments?

No, no. Just these two. It was too long to post as one, so I had to do it this way. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for reading.
