24th July 2020

A rubber suit hangs lonely and abandoned
Across a low hung branch by water’s edge
Singular witness to the latest dread attack
Of Cascade lake’s infamous predatory Walrus.

States a local but unwritten law
Beknownst to all,
Or so at least tis rumored,
That each morning
Betwixt Memorial weekend
And the Labor Day Holiday
A fresh faced and delicious unwrapped tourist,
Picked by those who care,
Will be baptized and delivered
Willingly or screaming
As raw hors d’oeuvres
At breakfast, lunch and tea.
