Trick or Treat With Pets (How My Dog Sees Hallowe’en)
By Ken Karrer
I just saw Rover from
down the street
beg for something good to eat
(embarrassing really, but)
nothing new about that,
except he did it in a hat
right beside that old Manx cat
named Mephistopheles.
You know the one.
I think he gave me fleas.
Dog sat
Cat spat
Candies flew
Lots to chew
Now that’s what I call
Hallowe’en!
Ken Karrer’s poetry is scheduled to appear at vox poetica in December 2009.
