Meal-time pets

Have not pity for the puppy

in the box by the street;

his purpose yet to be determined.

I took him home as chosen last among others,

but first in my heart,

and my stomach.

 

I took the poor puppy

into the kitchen

where I lopped off his head

drank his blood

and cooked him for dinner.

 

So dear children

do not pity the poor puppy

whose flesh still fills my belly.

Allow us to applaud him

for complementing good jelly.
