C**k-Eyed America

I love to add poetry to my art. This piece was inspired by our new tenacious mastiff. Please take a moment to check out the painting!

There once was a pup with American pride
He chased all his dreams, he pushed and he tried
Busy and thoughtful and careful and cool
A model American, nobody's fool

Along came a c**k with thoughts of his own
He raised all the taxes and sat on his throne
He took what pup worked for demanding much more 
He gilded his nest with a claim for the poor

The pup he kept trying not wont to complain
He tried to save bones but soon it was plain
All that he worked for, struggled and fought
Found way to the coop, his trying for naught

Pup gave a cry as he sharpened his claws
He snapped his mouth shut and clapped his big paws
He'd done what he could; he'd done his fair best
His bones were all heaped in Mr. C**k's nest

It didn't take much to snap a fine neck
With one wicked blow it all went to heck
Feathers flew this way, beaks flew asunder
Chomping was heard like claps of loud thunder

When it was over the pup looked around
Gobbets of gore were all that was found
The nests were destroyed, the chickens were dead
"There's nothing to do but start over!" pup said

We are heading toward revolution, Lisaluree. Things are so strange here. I don't recognise this place anymore. You are an amazing artist. So glad I found you while browsing around. Angi~
