THE CRUNCH
Chris Major
Little bastard kicked
that puppy like a football.
The vet who put it down
said injuries were consistent
with being crushed by a car.
The boy was just 13,
and when prosecuted
left court waving ‘n’ smiling
at local press,
paltry fine a badge of honour,
‘street cred’ raised
by the column inch.
Psychiatrists claim, that
children’s cruelty to animals
can signal the thin end
of a very bloody wedge:
ask Dahmer, Bundy, Manson etc.
Well, I don’t know about that,
but when I see his hideous mother
cursing and spitting at reporters,
I’m sorry,
but a large part of me hopes
her last words are something like -
“Honey, what are you going to
do with that hammer ???”
