Premium Member Dining With Dysfunction

Mother asked her big brother to pass the sugar;

big brother ruined it by splashing on liquor;

father rued spilt liquor by throwing his jigger

that hit sister who lit an elbow hard slammer

straight into the hand of their rare guest and butcher;

butcher stood to secure a full-face slap on her;

slap missed, striking their napping, fat cat to a blurred

flying fur on shriek tour that dog crashed with claws bore;

clawed dog wailed and bailed, dragging tail out wee dog 

door where he ran to distance pain until a looper

stopped his scooter – close by was one giant cougar;

too pooped to care, tired dog flopped right then and 

right there; dog closed eyes, cougar cleared throat, then 

croaked, ‘Hey, Lassie, are you insanely blind to cougar 

claw lugers?’; dog moaned, ‘A quick cougar corker beats 

home murder.’
