Edward Dewar
Looney Tunes
I know I’m not alone. I always felt sorry for your second cousin. I wish he could’ve
caught and barbecued that arrogant Saturday morning road runner. I never liked that
bird’s smug attitude and retro hairdo. But yesterday you tried to lure the family dog
into the underbrush. No doubt it was a trap. Since the end of November you have taken
refuge in a pile of leaves under the deck in my elderly neighbour’s backyard. I get that
it’s warm and offers protection from the snow. But that’s not going to stop me from
throwing sticks at you.
