Why I hate Mr. Bojangles

Don't you hate those tiny, hideous dogs?
Whose heads are all scrunched up and hair's all mangled,
Whose whole bodies look like fury white logs
Like SNL's little Mr. Bojangles
(who despite common belief is a girl)
Whose butt-ugly faces are monstrosities
It's all really enough to make me hurl
No! Not another breed!! Please, help us all! Please!
Like I was saying before--they're all ugly
May the have short white hair or long black hair
Little Chihuahuas or fat and pugly
Let's go to the zoo, we'll feed all the bears!
It may sound evil, cruel--but it's not, it's neat n'
We're all better off if they're chomped, chewed, and eaten.

-Kathryn
