Pet Haiku Opera
I wrote this during my lunch hour. Ahem.
Kasmo:
Sometimes I think I
Have become people so I
Stand on two legs too.
Jack:
Stupid fucking dogs.
Bark and chase and fetch and play
While I beauty sleep.
Piper:
How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways - uh oh.
I guess dogs can’t count.
Kasmo:
Stop sniffing my butt!
I don’t care about you … but
I pee where you’ve peed.
Jack:
Stupid fucking dogs.
Fighting over cat food, when
It is clearly mine.
Piper:
I love your earnest
Expression and your floppy
Ears and stumpy tail.
Kasmo:
I taste your spit on
My chew toy when I fetch it.
I don’t seem to mind.
Jack:
Stupid fucking dogs.
Cats care not for silly love -
Then we can’t get hurt.
Piper:
I throw you my bone
In vain hopes of attention.
You’re crushing my heart.
Kasmo:
I howl when mom leaves
Because I love her so much.
Do you howl for me?
you are a genius. I am laughing so hard I can’t see straight.
