Pedigree Cuisine
Perhaps for dinner you might try
A steak and veggie plate
Or some chicken wrapped in nori,
Such a treat to masticate!
At some eateries, the menus
Are creative as food gets,
Which is really a surprise because
The customers are pets.
San Francisco’s restaurant “Dogue”
And Manhattan’s “Judy Z’s”
Offer rawhide bones and cupcakes,
All with canine tastes to please.
Though I understand that owners
Love their

The Beatles Pedigree
In the annals of Rock History
The Beatles' pedigree --
Their decree
Let it Be
While the Stones

Right off the track
They made the choice
To paint it black

Tattooed Pedigree
"You do these things to shock me"
One of many absurdities
That mouth has hurled at me
While mine its lip is bit
Bred to holdfast like a pitbull.

Trump Will and Pedigree
Trump Will and Pedigree
Trump wanted to provide will with pedigree
And he did not find it in all debris
Along with his family genealogy
Showing they all had abnormal psychology
A bunch of bull we were starting to see.

Once He Had Some Pedigree
He exists in the shade of the mandrake plant,
It is his only passion in this twisted world;
Face down in the dirt- drugged and delirious,
Does not care if he wakes up or who walks by;
Hey man, it is what it is, just keep walking.
Is he alive, better take his pulse, go away,
And in his hallucination,

The Doggie With No Pedigree
My true love brought him home to me,
This doggie with no pedigree.
His ears are long, his legs are short.
His dragging middle needs support.
His trusting eyes looked into mine
And I fell hard for this canine.
"He'll need a license, shots and such
But they shouldn't cost you very much."
I realized the reason he,
Had brought this little dog

Pedigree
I never angled for a laugh
for being known as bickerstaffe,
an English clan devoid of fame,
an ordinary family name.
I mused, then through the ages cast
in hopes to find a storied past
and found my folks had expertise
in cultivating honey-bees.
I prize my humble pedigree
and praise the noble honey-bee
for all the sweetness that it brings
if I can just

Doesn'T Fit Their Pedigree
The day is as the day, once was before,
dealing with people, whom simply ignore.
The actual person, the inside, of the being,
not even considering, one's emotional feeling.
Them ready, to talk behind, trying to make fun,
while one is aware, and can't even really run.
Having to stand, or sit, just to bare, to then take,
as people,
