A SASSY SOUTHERN SALAMANDER

[A silly sonnette]

By izzy sommers, md

A sassy southern salamander sailed

From Timbuktu to Katmandu aboard

A Catamaran for a cat and custard

Pudding dish that was delicious, eh?

The salamander did meander from

His spot upon the poop deck and began

To fantasize about those Santa’s eyes

That he had seen last Christmas round about

December twenty-fifth.  His tiff with Swift

Abruptly turned to paws and claws, resulting

In a minor injury affecting

Swift’s great eyes.  Surprisingly, Swift whiffed

And spent the afternoon at Curley’s Dude

And Sunshine, where the customers bathed nude.

THE END
