/// The Great Dane doesn’t move, hardly blinks,
as he balances six sausage links.
His obedient snout
will not snap ‘til a shout
from his master’s voice curtails these kinks.
/// I believe that the dog’s name is Cæsar.
He was trained as a real people pleaser.
Since we can’t abide waste,
any wurst he won’t taste
will be wrapped up and stored in the freezer.
/// The fierce dog has been trained to obey.
Not to eat ‘til he gets the “O.K.”
There is no good excuse
for this canine abuse.
It’s just sadism put on display.
/// The Dane might have learned this “trick” faster,
but the whole thing’s a gourmet disaster.
Does he have a desire
to devour Oscar Meyer?
(Dr. Lecter’s the animal’s master.)
/// To consume Oscar Mayer is odd.
Not meats named for him; links from his bod.
It was Hannibal’s plan
to make news: DOG BITES MAN /
while Doc Lecter ate pie (Sweeney Todd).
/// When a canine’s ancestry is mixed,
documenting it leaves you betwixt
what is writ in the books
and the way the beast looks.
Save the trouble and get your dog fixed.
