Poem created in response to Robert Lee Brewer’s Wednesday Poetry Prompt 209, 6 February 2013. Topic: animals
Good Thing They’re Cute
(form: shadorma)
Should knowing
wiener dogs were bred
as hunters
of badgers
make me more tolerant of
how stupid they are?
(form: tanka)
Bred to hunt badgers,
Dachshunds are fierce and fearless,
but I wonder why
each one I get seems to be
so much dumber than the last?

Dislike. Ha.
