Little Pomeranian
-----------------
Ate sago palm seeds.
Liver fried, no hope for life.
It went home and died.
Barn Owl
-------------
Broken wing all fixed.
Shattered again in flight cage.
And then I killed it.
Great Horned Owl
-------------------
Barbed wire stuck in eye.
Took eye out, but fungus grew.
And then I killed it
Labrador with heart-base tumor
-----------------
Biopsied tumor.
Bleeding, gushing blood, yet lived.
"Sample size too small".
Juvenile Egret
----------------
Out of nest it fell.
Almost every bone broken.
And then I killed it
Okay, on a different note, since nobody believed it was a picture of K-poo that I had (oh-so-skillfully!) superimposed on the dog's head in the last post, I give you the original below.
It's not the best-quality photograph (probably due to bad lighting), but it really is K-poo. So there.

ReplyDeleteYou might notice a pattern.
ReplyDeleteYeah. The birds are telling each other in bird-speak "don't go in there. You'll never come out alive."
"don't go in there. You'll never come out alive."
ReplyDeleteMy students said that about the rotation, too...
Rich liked your haikus. He is a big fan of haikus.
ReplyDeleteJJ: Clearly Rich is a man of good taste. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese are really sad. I can't say I envy your job.
ReplyDeleteAFM: The haikus or the photography? Anyhow, I had a few successes. I once fixed a constipated snake. How many people can say that?
