This Morning Gully

Must Have Had His Fill

of Scrappy Bacon

(The Cheapest & Best)

Served Now In His Little White Bowl

w/ Handle

(So Eye Can Hold It For Him)

Perched On The Rail

of M(eye) Winter Deck —

This Morning He Took

2 Servings & Took Off

As Eye Prepared 2 Serve A 3rd —

Maybe Because Eye Violently Brushed Off

w/ White Gloved Hand

1 Nagging Speck of Black Lint

Stuck Against M(eye) New Blue Robe

& Gully Decided He Had Had

Enough
