Feast for the Unfortunate...
it was a day
unlike any other day
the sun went up
the garbage bins came down
tumbling forth
from the cleaner’s grip
laying its treasures
bare in the street
rotting fragrances
filled the air
out came the mutts
with practiced flair
days of starvation
will have to be gone
no more sniffing and chasing
pompous humans around
ravens from rooftops
cawed with renewed vigor
eyeing the debris
with quite some pleasure
cats faked a disinterest
some purred louder than the rest
the cleaner rushed
for his rake
lest the residents
yelled a mounting fake
a moment’s lack
is a treasure snatched
they knew it all too well
the mutts and the crows
all ran for their share
a feast truly, for the unfortunate.
