The Monster
Go check out The Monster, said kids at the park.
Look in that store window. Don't go after dark!
I drove to the pet shop and gagged at the sight.
The animal bubbling in heat and sunlight.
Raw purple with blisters and pus globbing out;
I wanted to jail him. The landlord. The lout.
So sweetly I paid for The Monster and cage.
The owner? audacious. Inside I bled rage.
On to the vets and the meds and the creams,
Hand feedings, surgery, group prayers and dreams.
The Old One abandoned in front of the store;
Stuffed in that window to suffer far more?
She now has a home and a life blessed with love:
A Walt Disney ending that dreams are made of.
More Monsters? You bet ya. So desperate for care.
Please visit your shelters and volunteer there.
Or bring home A Monster, abandoned and old.
To nurture.. and pray for.. and dream of.. and hold.
Lisette
