Thus A Paper Puppy Prances

Thus a paper puppy prances

and a dirty dingo dances

folded into each other

This mix of grease and snow

makes moonlit canines go

on a migration towards the Southern

Boring holes for food and water

nighttime talks about their daughter

a long lost child soon to smother

Helpful friends along the way made

species support groups in the shade

joined parents with a distant brother

Now threes company made them strong

they’ll find this girl through skill and song

as all the naysayers shudder

Over hills and valleys they found

their little pup making a sound

stuck in a lake of butter

They laughed and licked her clean and nice

she barked “I’m hungry, I want rice!”

so back home they walked towards supper
