“Beware of the dog!” the sign stated.
Sharp teeth pierced his butt.
He screamed, “Get off, mutt!”
Desire to steal quickly abated.

For Samson, fame was jus...

Child Laborer

...I was pulled out of the school; doomed into hard labor,
To my home, at budding age, I became a life-saver...!

Where in repose lay the body of his father;
Dry dead-wood was stacked in layers they built,

Exceedingly Painful Shoes

...Exceedingly painful shoes
About your blasted toes The Curious ask ‘Whose?’
The footwear to distrust its ever becoming loose;
