Mutilating the Dog

 

 

            She cut the dog’s ear off

            It didn’t make a sound

 

            I hear her crying,

            Always women with the fucking crying

            And I walk down

            The dog’s blood from shit to stern

 

            She was trimming his ears

            And she missed

            Going an inch in

 

            We had just bathed the fucker, too

 

            The dog is shaking, but doesn’t really care

            He seems like it doesn’t hurt

            He just doesn’t like her crying.

 

            We try to stop the bleeding

            But the dog shakes its head and starts again

            She asks me if he will die

 

            I explain that a minor cut

            While annoying

            Cannot kill a dog of this size

            And that the worst that can happen

            Is it will shake its head

            Repeatedly until it looses enough blood

            To pass out

            And then while he sleeps it will clot

 

            SERIOUSLY? she screams.

 

            I shake my head and tell her

            She needs to work on understanding sarcasm

 

            And grooming
