Feral Furphy
30/30
Feral Furphy
In the scientific realm
of impossibilities,
2 sides of the coin
exists for this thought …
I wonder if animals, pets
formulate opinions
As sentient beings,
they definitely have
likes and dislikes
a wide range of feelings
some, even
complex emotions
But what would it take
for them to have
an opinion!
For humans,
most of our tastes
are stuck in our
mouths

Beware Of The Mink
If you want a mink as a pet
You will end up with regret
Unless you get one when it is small
Adult ones can't be domesticated at all
They are aggressive predators of sorts
Never thinking twice before they bite
They'll strike and sometimes even maul
They don't make a safe pet at all
You will end up with regret
Unless you get one when it is small
Adult ones can't be domesticated at all
They are aggressive predators of sorts
Never thinking twice before they bite
They'll strike and sometimes even maul
They don't make a safe pet at all

Mata Furry
On a Spring day,
five years ago,
I heard a loud knocking at my front door.
Approaching to answer,
I heard a faint scratching.
First checking the peep hole,
I saw not a soul.
Then the bell rang.
Carefully, with trepidation,
I opened to see
a pure white bunny staring up at me.
Irresistibly adorable I let the little guy in.
Barely crossing our threshold,
the creature hopped
to our den
as if on a mission.
I said, “well aren't you bold” and...

A Close Encounter
My uncle, for my birthday, takes me to the local zoo.
I want to see the tigers and the baby kangaroo!
There's loads of stuff to do here; which mammal to see first?
I'm so very excited that I feel like I might burst!
First, a very handsome camel is majestic yet aloof;
then some cheerful dolphins splash me; glad I have my waterproof!
Ten orangutans are playing on some rope that has been strung;
we sit and watch an emu, tending to her precious young.
We see a gorgeous possum, in impressive form;
then cool down in the reptile house, because...

Surprise guests
Are you coming to my party? It's going to be so great!
Just walk on in, or run, or catch a lift with someone's mate.
Two friends are at the station - bravo, let's go and pick them up;
we'll bring them to the party and then let them choose a cup.
There's a flag out in the garden so you know where it will be;
There'll be such fun that you won't want to stop, I guarantee!
I'll put on games and serve great food for sure, but first a guess:
who's here as guest of honour and is going to address
the reason for this gathering, so joyous...

The Mouse
Midnight: I lie on the bed, a
song plays in my head- but which?
Ah, I don’t know. I close my eyes,
but no use: no oblivion, no
peace. No medicine of all
times. And so I get up and leave
my room. A coffee! Why
not? Therefore I go to a shelf and
grab the coffee, but I hear something.
What’s there? I look around and see
a mouse, a molecule hurrying
to escape in the infinity of the planet,
in the sea of the night. I feel
ready finally for sleep,
for the dreams remaining to me.

Manumission, sort of

Manumission, sort of
I scooped her up
gently carried her
to the other side
of the road
I know better than
to touch or
bother wildlife
but the cars
speeding past my
parked location
Damn! Moving too
fast – no way
would they see her
in time to swerve
to stop
My good deed for the day
going unnoticed
maybe even
unappreciated
I still managed a
smile as I took a
moment or ten
watching that
Desert Tortoise
slowly...

Savior Dog
She cocks her head and stares,
offers a paw in the air,
The paw is a word, the stare
a question, when the liquor
is drunk unchilled, they will stare
In the coldness of covid,
the paws comforted, rescued
our souls, the whip of the tail
delighted, near and nudging,
ears keen to woes and worries
she flops down beside me, her
bottom up, and demands the rub,
near and nudging, she stares when
I stop, we healed when we stroked
petted bathed nuzzled fed
she...

He Told Me He's Doing A Wildlife Film
Gianna got
so jealous
after seeing
her fiancé Eric
naked in the river
with her maid of honor
Deborah and Eric's chimpanzee.

Bunnies Doing What Bunnies Do
as i observe the
fertility dance
of the cottontails
i realize
that
easter bunny
was the hardest
imaginary figure
to outgrow
god was gone
in a flash
rigid priests and cruel nuns
cemented that one
santa took a bit longer
until it sank in
that he was as judge
mental as god with his
naughty and nice lists
tooth fairy was just
a merchant
and i had him figured
out after the second incisor
but the easter bunny
left eggs and candy
without...
