The Box

You can’t see me,
You don’t know.
My sharpest claw
Is on your toe.
I wait to attack
To mutilate
With a burst of speed
The back of your feet.

Water

Have you ever even known me?
Have you ever been to earth?
Why do you now hate me?
Why do I deserve
You taking away the white drink
And offering me
This tasteless liquid.

Derriere

Why do you recoil?
What did you expect?
I cannot jump on you backwards
So I must naturally
Turn around
And offer you a sniff
Of my derriere.
You’re welcome.
