A pirate’s eye patch
I won’t wear
Strap a peg toe on me
You shan’t dare
You think it’s funny
I don’t
Laugh all you will
Said Roman, I won’t

At dVerse Poets Pub today, Lillian is calling for a little anthropomorphism. I had to make mine 30 words in keeping with my self-imposed National Poetry Month challenge. This poem is what I imagine my dog Roman’s reaction is to my son’s suggestion that we dress him as a pirate for Halloween. The poor dog only has one eye and recently had to have a toe removed due to a tumor.
