Get the switch, that dogs at it again



What does it mean to be a weasel?
Surely, you are familiar when a human is referred to as a weasel or being weaselly, but is that a bum rap for a weasel? Weasels are quite resourceful and resilient. Also, the wolverine, of which the animal like X-man is named after, is a force to be reckoned with...of the weasel family.
I think invertebrate or jellyfish may be more suitable, but then again, those creatures have survived on this earth much longer than us humans.
It's difficult to determine to say the least.
I'm thinking rat or cockroach, but doing whatever you can to survive is well...survival.
Hmm...maybe a song would help:
You don't sing like
a nightingale
more like a mule,
you're so confident
with your standing,
not knowing
you're a fool.
You bite the hand
that feeds
when you're touched
you bleed
barking, just barking
maybe it's a leash
you need.
Staked to the ground
you watch the world
spin round
and think making
an observation about it
is profound.
You, your ego,
and your accomplice
another head
for Cerberus,
what you are
just another guard dog,
for a bucket of piss.

Hide in the shadows

and in hollow trees

until you're scared off

by a few tiny bees.

Look at you running,

flailing your arms

all the while cursing

"I didn't mean any harm."

No one believes you,

no one to turn to

your three heads chewing

on the same leather shoe

that someone threw out

for a pile meant for the trash

if they catch that animal chewing

surely he'll get a lash.
