I walk the dog
after he's done
with his dog affairs
I walk back home
go to the kitchen
and give him water and dry food
he starts eating.
Then I head to the balcony
and do the same
to my bunny
as he hops back and forth
until I feed him.
Then I feed the hedgehog
(wherever that antisocial
ball of ***** spikes is hiding)
I never see him.
I only see trails of ****
and empty bowls.
then I feed the hamsters
and circle back to the kitchen
and it commences:
oin oin oin oin oin oin oin
oin oin oin oin oin oin
oin oin oin oin
oin oin oin oin oin
oin oin oin oin oin oin
"So you ignore me all day
and then cry
when you crave
veggies, huh?"
oin oin oin oin oin oin o—
"alright, alright!"
I grab his bowl
clean it as best as I can
as he continues to cry
in the back ground.
I sprinkle some salad
and wild arugula in his bowl,
grab a knife
curve my fingers,
slice some cucumber,
and dice some
green pimento
and shove it all in.
oin oin oin oin oin oin —
" I heard you the first time, *******!"
I go up to his cage
and there he is.
holding the bars
still crying for veggies
I place the bowl
inside the cage and he bolts
towards the veggies,
and finally shuts the **** up.
If I knew a Guinea pig
would be this demanding
I would've taken my driver's license,
quit my job, find another one,
got to a bar, have a pint,
smoke a cigarette, join a band,
write a novel, ****** someone
and burry the dead body
somewhere those **** cries
would never reach me
even if their cute.
