By Monday morning,
a furious Mrs. Muzzle
pounced on Uncle's lap,
took her petite paw
and gave his smirking lips
several wicked smacks.
But he continued to talk
as if he was used to that
repeating a tedious tale
about a dubious time
when Smear the Queer
was a Hunger Game
the neighborhood kids
would play.
And everyone was proud and happy
though no one was proud and gay.
Problem people stayed silent
otherwise they were gagged,
and proper people spoke English
with a Midwest accent -
the same one Jesus had.

Bet Uncle had declawed Mrs. Muzzle, too. The beast!

That would help explain some of Mrs. Muzzle’s outrage.
