Circus Animals Dessert Shun
Daniel woke from his rest and the morning sun's
Early rays shone on the wall unit in his apartment.
Merry animals on the box of Nabisco cookies attributed to Barnum's
Opry were in the spotlight. Daniel remembered how he'd spent
Nearly an entire evening in his parent's basement arguing
Cookie theology with his friend Chad. His friend
Opined that a cookie he had extracted from the 3-rings
Of "Crackers" Nabisco had so slyly penned,
("King Kong-like" is what Daniel called its shape)
In actuality was the image of a demon demur.
Even though Daniel saw nothing more than an ape
Sitting, Chad was sure it was no lemur,
Bear, nor any critter of God's hand.
Orc or gargolyle, perhaps, but evil sure from some baker's no man's land.
Xray eye for evil, Chad claimed was his gift, Daniel had to cede this much, no but, and, or if.
