BAAAD MAMMALS!
Matthew Lee Bain
You stare at your Bible
Like my cat stares at the refrigerator.
You both think there's something,
Just inside,
That can fill you up.
But I know better,
And I admonish you with
the negative reinforcement of water
From a spray bottle.
Bad mammal! Baaad mammal!
I could've told you,
All that's in there is
Beyond its expiration date,
And it gives off one God-awful stench.
Then again, I don't speak a language
Either of you would understand...
One full of reason.
