a topical poem about a dentist with no reservations about luring animals off theirs
Lions, they are for hunting.
That's what my dentist said.
He shot one through the eye.
Twelve hours later, it was dead.

I don't know if that hurt him.
(He was actually quite relaxed.)
But I would feel a bit of a shit
having to hack
off its bleeding
head
and cut
through
the stringy
and
troublesome
sinews
with a saw
and
ax.
