Grimbeau

Look at that:

a dogged dog

who don’t play it doggo,

sit when spat at,

beg for his dinner,

or die for a queen…

whose bite is worse

than their bark,

you swallow,

gruffly ruminating

over a lamb’s leg…

waiting for a pig’s ear,

rueful of the duck’s arse,

sizing up the parson’s nose,

exercising horse sense

with the stubborn donkey…
