It looks quite benign at first glance
But a bog is a deadly expanse–
If you step off the deck
You’ll be up to your neck
In a carpet of meat-eating plants

A vixen from outside Fort Knox,
Found her marriage to be on the rocks,
But she would recover
And find a new lover,
For after all, she was a fox.

A self conscious frog known as Clyde
Had never once seen his backside,
So he asked his mate Clare,
“How’s my camo back there?”
“I think it’s spot on,” she replied.

A timid young turtle named Nell
Was told she was ugly as hell,
And it hurt her inside
For her friends had all lied–
And now, she stays home in her shell

when mother goose had her first brood,
a rift in her marriage ensued:
her high steppin’ gander
began to philander
whenever he felt in the mood

there lives a young songbird named heather
who thinks she is so ‘all together’,
and that magpie beau monde
is above and beyond–
but they’re really just birds of a feather.

There lives a delusional pig
Who thinks she’s as thin as a twig,
And when she’s called out
On those ears and that snout,
She says, “They’re just perfectly big.”

A young racist rabbit named Frown
Was putting non-white bunnies down,
But he altered his views
As he hopped in their shoes
In the spring, when his fur turned to brown.

A self-centered woodchuck named Ben
Stays aloof from his ex-girlfriend,
But if it’s time to mate,
He will not hesitate
To just let himself in to her den

the animal photos i use
when blogging are so hard to choose,
that i write the texts
while kitty selects
the ones that will get the most views
