Another animal poem. Today’s the day for them. My 5th 30 poems in 30 days poem.

Investigators wrangle
snakes, turtles, iguanas, and solitary scorpion
all illegal to own in Detroit
from a man under arrest for other issues.

Scorpion finds new home with Animal Cruelty Officer
and son. Boy tells camera honestly
“If you don’t know anything about pets-
and you didn’t go to college-
this wouldn’t be a really good pet for you.”

Out of mouths of babes.
I think.

    “Scorpion finds new home with Animal Cruelty Officer

    Your comedic timing was spot on.

    I like your style.
