disregard


by dog e relaford



adam hated apples
but loved apple pie
he put cream in his coffee
but could not tell you why

betty was a bullfrog
and put paint on her face
of higher consciousness
she evinced little trace

corliss was a cactus plant
and prayed for rain
he remembered his aunt emily
whom he would never see again

dennis was a dictionary
thrown out in the trash
he never owned a credit card
and always paid cash

ella was an eggplant
with opinions on every discipline
the world knocked at her window
but she did not let it in

franklin was a footman
who bowed with easy grace
he kept an extensive diary
and did not know his place

gustav was a gorilla
who believed all things were true
he began to give his reasons
and was told, that will do
