My Daddy


my daddy, he accomplished
a lot of things
and so on.
played futbol with words
in Australia:

wrote books and laughed
spoke backwards

used to shoot snakes with shotguns and leave
them hanging 'round the yard

used to slaughter my pet lambs
hunched over a pink kiddie pool
(we used to swim in that pool)
true story, i swear,
and their blood went everywhere!

splash splash

splash.
