Down by the pond,
with snakes and frogs,
and the incessent yapping
of the neighbors dogs
A little sandcastle housing
pill bugs, foundation held together
by the slime of worker slugs.
Inside, little catterpillers
gnaw on leaves
down to their veins.
What mischevious scamps,
those were the cover
for when it rains--
but he wonders,
and patience wanes.
He burries them
and watches the bugs
wriggle up
from their grave.
Those dogs barking-
always barking.
He wishes they would
shut up.
