Snuggie your Life Away
by Teresa Houle
Who is the moron that invented the Snuggie?
It's a fleece-tent with sleeves,
I thought they were kidding me.
Is our society so torpid?
Yet, bursting with cash?
That we will buy anything,
That warms our white ass?
The new designs are out;
I can look like a zebra
While I flick my clicker
And watch some more Oprah.
And don't get me started on Snuggie for dogs,
Anyone who buys that deserves to be flogged.

This was a spur of the moment poetry contest put out by PANK magazine. The contest winner was announced the following day. ME!
ME, ME, ME, ME.
My prize? Two Snuggies and two reading lights.

Suddenly I feel better about poetry in general.
Although the question in stanza two is provocative the dogs/flogged rhyme endures as my high spot.
This is so very funny!
dog poem alert!!!
Thanks guys,
I'm glad my sense of humour is appreciated.
I don't quite get the 'dog poem alert' though. Is this an 'in' joke I need to get in on?
nope, you got a dog poem here--just calling all dog lovers on f'naut, 'cause some in the community only read the dog work, lol. they are not cat people.
Love it, Teresa, and love Pank. Glad you won.
Thanks for straightening that out Gary.
And yes David, love the Pank. Still waiting for one in the mail but I've heard wondrous things.
Thanks.
