Meadowhead Bard

Random and surreal poetry satire and short stories.

Animalistic.

We don’t have a pet or really want one, We do have Logan the grand dog, of whom you can read about in the annals of my blog.

Animalistic

I wouldn’t have a tyrannosaur that terrifying dinosaur
A goldfish well maybe. But their language is so poor
“Stick insects”, some one said “They’re fun it is oh so true’
but their not interactive and I couldn’t afford the glue

Parrots talk a lot, but don’t know what they are saying
Polly-ticians are like that, so twice I am not paying.
I won’t get a wolf, because there’s one already at my door
Definitely not a Trump he might go and start a war

An elephant in the room, what’s the point ? No one could see it
Those things that go in your trousers? No I don’t want a ferret
A sloth would take years to walk, then would hang up from the lampshade
Someone let the cat out, but it’s not coming in here I’m afraid

Too much washing for a leopard always changing his spots
What was that about the elephant, can’t remember I’ve forgot.
Should I get a crocodile then? Or would it reduce me to floods of tears
I would quite like a jaguar, automatic, or with gears

I looked under a log for a frog, but can’t remember the reason
I found a frog he turned into a prince, that got arrested for treason
Boris Johnson had a dog, or was it the other way round?
It’s hard to tell the difference with barking animals so I’ve found.

Intsy wintsy spider would drive me up the wall
As for a giraffe, no definitely too tall
Skunks are nice, but stink whenever you inhail
I’m going to get a scorpion, and that’s the sting in the tail.

All words Meadowhead Bard.
