Pity poor Pol Pot’s cat.
Hitler’s hamster.
Fed by this thing.
Stroked by this thing.
By this skin
those nails
they scratch
that spot.
Pity poor Pol Pot’s cat.
Those nails

I always thought Hitler was a dog guy. Stalin was into hamsters, though, if you know what I mean.

Great. A beautiful next chapter if you will to the immortal words of the great poet (1960-?) if I am correct, Jello Biafra …”POL POT POL POT”- Holiday Inn Cambodia, 1980 Alternative T.
Wonderful, subversive, mezmorizing -
have to take issue. yes, it’s clever, but i reserve pity where it’s appropriately placed. apologies, as i well know you are only being clever, but you know, poetry riles the rivers and all.
guess i won’t be attending the play, ‘a funny thing happened on pol pot’s way to the countryside.’
“To pity distress is but human; to relieve it is Godlike.”
—Horace Mann
