overheard this morning
at the Coney Island stop:

“Seriously? The dog is upset
because you didn’t
butter her roll?”

that bitch should know
I sympathize

if it tastes so nice
it should be
buttered twice

you know
how hard it is
to dunk with paws

little dignity nor poise
for those
licking themselves
in public

(what you do
in your own portico
is up to you)

I mean
don’t they know

there’s pekingese starving
siamese up in arms
pitbull up on iTunes

what’s so hard to get?

don’t upset
your pet
