I'm not surprised you couldn't sleep last night,
what did you think that you were doing?
Running around inside my head, all night

The Weasel Copyright © Thraves Thraveson 2011
A Weasel’s not W’easily seen
Its long and its lithe and its lean
If the tip of its tail, has a sooty sheen
You’d be stoatlly wrong it’s a stoat that you’ve seen.

The chest of drawers that I had hoped to renovate
so that it might become an heirloom in your keeping
had to be demolished to take in the car to the dump

You, head down reading Baudelaire,
Me, all-admiring of your serious literary ways
