I am walking to
the Li’l Arf
an’ Annie Pet Shop
To get some food for
This Newfoundland I share my one
room apartment with,
And I see a humane society truck
Run over a family of deer,
And I see a bull
Dozer tearing up the forest
in order
To build the wildlife foundation.
When I finally arrive
At the shop and reach for
My alligator wallet, I see
The sign that says: “Warning”
Premises under surveillance
By guard-dog”. So I do not
Enter. I return home empty
Handed, except for these
Crocodile tears.
