Menagerie

I'm sitting on the couch, with cats and dogs
all draped around me, piled in my lap.
Like something green and warty on a log
I'm squatting on my couch, with cats and dogs,
canaries, guinea pigs, Arkansas hogs--
good grief! I wanted just a quiet nap
while sitting on the couch. But cats and dogs
draped all over me and piled in my lap.
