One Day…

By: Michael Kooiker




One day I thought…
No matter the cost
I ought to teach a dog to floss

I sought to solve my quandary
But paw guffawed and
Maw was doing laundry

I went down the block
I knocked a knock
On Memaws gawdy front door

Memaw was awesome and nodded
We ate calamari and plotted
Then Memaw said to me:

“To Mr. Moth I’ll call a call,
the boss at my job
who’s quite topple tall”

I jaunt to the dock for a pop
I slopped some scotch on top
Then sloshed, I wandered

I forgot about Memaw
I forgot about the floss
For words I was quite lost
