The Lady & the Tiger

"I would eat you,"
Said the tiger,
"But I have no drinks on tap.
I'd hate to have a bit of lady
Stuck inside my yap."

"I understand,"
Said the lady,
"And I'd love to help you out,
But it's not in my self-interest
To share with you my stout."

Urban Haiku

The sidewalk outside Cowboy Slim's

Glitters with dozens of scattered toothpicks

Individually wrapped in cellophane.
