• You are
    The fuzzy black creature with
    A wiggly butt.
    One look
    Into your eager eyes confirms
    That when they were handing out brains
    You heard “train” and you got a caboose instead.
    You are the house
    With the lights on,
    But with nobody home.
    You see
    “Fairies” everywhere
    Whether from the flashlight
    Or from reflected off a mirror.
    If I flip you
    On your back, you are a turkey
    With four floppy legs and two floppy ears.
    You will wait
    For your “fairy” to move
    Even if it is on
    The ceiling.
    For a bird,
    You are very furry
    And, birdseed disagrees with you.
    Your singing is rather
    More of
    A hound-dog howl;
    Even so,
    You still know
    What “cookie” means.
