Bad Poetry

It’s Tocktober!

If it’s a bad day, or even a bad week,
There is some comfort you can seek.
To gaze upon a fluffy cheek
Will cheer you up when you feel bleak.

the back end of an alpaca, showing its fluffy light brown tail
And now for something completely different: A llama with three buttocks.

The humble buttock, you will find
Is Nature’s method to remind
Us all to relax and unwind
And never mind if we fall behind.

a dark grey rabbit reclines on its belly with its tail toward you
75% floof, 25% ‘tocks.

And soon, thanks to this tiny twerker
You’re feeling calm and less berzerker.
Just why do ‘tocks make us feel perkier?
Don’t ask me why; I only work ‘ere.

a hand holds a dark grey hamster with its tail facing you.
No need to point out the tail, it points for itself.

Dramatic Squirrel is Dramatic

“Oh, kind traveler, spare a morsel for a poor wretched forest creature such as I! A peanut, perchance, or a cashew or two! I would feast on a filbert, but an almond will do! A pecan or pistachio would please this sad snacker! Or even a walnut (but lend your nutcracker)!”

A squirrel stands on its back legs and reaches up with one outstretched arm
Them suckers is tough.

That’s Amore!

a dog and a fox eat pizza from a cardboard box in a backyard

When a dog feeds a fox pizza straight from the box, that’s amore
When you’re poised to attack but instead get a snack, that’s amore
Lots of cheese
Pepperoni please
Never mind the fleas
Underneath the trees so beguiling
When you trust
Then you really must
Share a bit of crust
And a wine robust ’til you’re smiling
