Animals In The Backyard - poem

Backyard Animals

If you have a pet Donkey
That you place in your backyard
It matters not what you feed it
It will keep you awake all hours of the night
With it's
corrosive clamor
It won't stop
The neighbors will complain
If not dealt with
They will declare war
Until you have no choice but to
Migrate far, far away
Lest we forget about the mess
It's your responsiblity
Same goes for any animal
Elephant, Dog, Cat, Bear,
Allowing an animal to
Take over your backyard
Is like converting your life into a toilet
When the hell
Are you going to flush?

How about feral cats? I like the fact that the 'animal' could represent many things in this poem, possibly a life/person that wants or needs to change? But then again, maybe I read between the lines too much. Always great lines and a great delivery too, Aaron. :) Janet
