poem 10,002


by dog e relaford



the bear and the rattlesnake went to town
to buy the hyena a wedding gown
the hyena was going to marry the fox
in a move that through the world sent shocks

the spider was asked to weave the gown
but the price it asked made the rattlesnake frown
it looked at the bear with a sly grin
and said, this is where we came in

outside in the distance a whistle blew
old number ten was coming through
the bear from his pocket took a flask
and said i thought you would never ask

the sun went down and the light grew dim
the bear turned to the spider and said to him
remember when all a body had to do
was sign a paper that his heart was true?
