hungry dog meets satan

By benafim

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Hungry Dog Boiled two eggs for my breakfast, one was Very big and I hoped it had two yolks. But when I cut its top off the devil's head Popped up, grinned and said: ‘Eat me if you dare" I gave the egg to my dog, which wolfed it Down ignoring Satan's spluttering indignation. The cur burped, farted and Apollyon escaped In a rank haze The smaller egg I put in the deep freezer In case one of Lucifer's imps was in it. When I thawed and peeled the egg, a month Later, a tiny dragon sprung to life, bit my Thumb and the air turned darkly cyan. Written February 9th, 2002 © on Feb 09 2002 06:13 AM PST   0 • 14
