Pet Haiku Opera

I wrote this during my lunch hour. Ahem.

Piper: A piece of advice: I am a Shetland Sheepdog. Barking’s what we do.

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?
