Honoring Our Pets
Honoring Our Pets
by Gene Defcon
If cats had tombstones
You could easily trip
And crunch your ribs
On the next grave
So long ago
Our forefathers
Decided against
Honoring our pets

This poem gave me a visual of a hit-and-run squirrel versus automobile incident where an innocent creature fails to obey the traffic signal and is killed by a truck that then flees the scene. Special police are called out and immediately chalk out the body, put up caution tape, and take witness statements. The driver is found and convicted of squirrelslaughter and under a plea agreement serves life in prison (six years, since that’s how long a squirrel lives).
Trippy.
