Pet Rocks Fall

Pet Rocks Fall

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

Love your rocks as you love yourself but never give them cell phones

"
 Pet rocks fall on hard times
They don't commit crimes or suicide
Stones never come back once thrown
Never talk again once insulted
(Rocks hate being called stones)
Never refer to them as ore or else 

They demand equality
To be viewed as gender neutral
To be treated like rocks not objects
Never as humans 
They want equal pay
To be made of granite 
Or something smooth like sand
Their silence is proof of that

Rocks are not persons or places
They are things not human beings
Don't discriminate 
Refrigerate pets to keep them fresh
Don't get them mad or arrested
Avoid broken glass and windows
Don't ask rocks questions
They are not great thinkers but listeners

The law requires rocks to be leashed
Walked twice a week on beaches
In parks, rocks don't bark
Carry extra plastic baggies 
Avoid accidents when you can 
Don't smoke or get stoned around rocks
Use sound judgment dealing with solids

Rocks fall from the sky all the time
Be kind to your comets and asteroids
Love them or face retribution 
Extraterrestrial objects are brutal

Some rocks are cruel.  Most are not
If you give them cell phones
They never call home
Pet rocks forget where they came from
Can you blame them
Just look at their owners
