What The Simple Life Taught by =mngamojemo:iconmngamojemo:



These are things that I know:

how to bow and to caw at the shrillest
of crows 'til he flies
from my sight,

how to nod at a lizard enclosed
'til he charges the wall,

how to outguard the dog and bedevil
the cock 'til he thinks I've got spurs
much more sharp than his own.

These are good things to know.

Quite a lot can be gained
by outfeinting a snake in a cage
or a crow on the line, by appearing
as tall as a bear and as fierce as a lion.

Author's Comments

I was requested to come in to work at eight in the morning today for a customer service seminar. Eight is around the time I'm usually getting to bed, so I deemed it advisable to stay up all night on the dA forums. By the time the seminar was over, I was in a very Zen state of mind, and won a small territorial skirmish with a black bird that I assumed to be a crow.

Very intereseting poem, I'll be honest, I'm going to have to read it again to try and comprehend it... But dude, you damn description is hilarious. "small territorial skirmish with a black bird that I assumed to be a crow." this shit made me crack up so hard. I know exactly what you are talking about in your description, classic.
