Food Fight

WriteBeLight

Here he comes.

Back this year.

That smiling Ass,

Has no fears.

 

A large rodent,

A speedy rat.

On my hard work,

He’s growing fat.

 

As I dream,

Of radish and beans,

In my bowl,

Tasty sight seen.

 

Those healthy plants,

Raised from seeds.

Gorge and satisfy,

His hungry greed.

 

But, not this time,

My sling shot’s handy.

He’ll get no veggies,

He gobbles like candy.

 

There it is,

The evidence.

Entrance to tunnels,

Under the fence.

 

I think I’ll set,

A tasty trap.

Lure him out,

And, then dispatch.

 

Garden treasures,

Not for his belly,

Show yourself,

All, dusty and smelly.

 

And, there he is!

That lettuce is mine!

I take a shot.

I missed this time!

 

So, enjoy your spoils.

Have a good night.

Be back tomorrow,

To again, food fight.

        I loved your poem. I have missed reading your daily poems. Must be frustrating having animals eat away at your hard earned garden veggies!

        • WriteBeLight

          It is Christina. I cannot stand varments. They do have to eat, I under stand. But, not my vegetables 🙂 Please! Thanks for the comment. Glad you liked it. I will try to post as often as I can. Thanks again!
