Barabbas By William Marsland.

 
More skin shows than fur

too much to call it patchy.

His one good eye leers out at all

who have temerity to lay

a hand upon his crusty head.

He’d much prefer to lick a hairless ball.

One neighbor said in abject consternation

as he placed his toy upon the stoop

“the vet should put him down”

All Barabbas did was poop

cock a leg and pissed upon

the gay guys leather brogues.
