This is Peter 'Death Wish' Cottontail, who came hippity hopping down our front path every day this summer
to stand in front of our glass door munching on weeds and tormenting our dogs.
It's haiku time! It's been a while since I had to write one of these. This time, Banjo got in on the action. I don't think he killed it. Somehow he was just lucky enough to find a dead thing.
Looked outside to see
Nat Geo in my backyard:
Dog eating carcass.
A furry dead thing!
In Banjo's jaws. Why, dog, why?
He rips off a chunk.
Bloody matted fur
Happy Friday the thirteenth,
Unlucky critter.
Legs dangling from mouth
I screamed and Banjo dropped it
Why mom? It tastes good.
What the f*** is that?
Bunny? Squirrel? Or possum?
Yuck yuck yuck yuck yuck.
Hey momma, would you
Like a kiss from my death lips?
Banjo likes dead things.
Come home soon, Larry
Now you have a job to do
Shovel, bag, trash can.
