Seal Haiku Series
In which a circus seal learns
that he has been duped.
seal flaps flippers hard
holds ball on nose for long time
when they throw him fish?
creeping suspicion
resolves into certainty
no fish in that pail
circus man has fish
barked, clapped, showed all my best tricks
bastard popped my ball
(there once was a seal
from Nantucket who's ball was
oh, wait, wrong verse form)
with stupid ball popped
seal won't bark for empty pail
so much for the fish
now they call it "Cirque"
acrobats with oiled hair
kind of disgusting....
