: Gerbil World 7 by Bill Schott
I Can't contest entry


I can't recount the many times

I've found the gerbil in the chimes;

tied there waiting on a breeze

to beat him with A flats and Cs.


I suspect my lovely wife,

who lacks respect for gerbil life,

attaches it to things like this

to let the wind play hit and miss.


Gerbilcide may be her goal,

placed him once on a flag pole;

on a hill of fire ants,

and in the midst of thorny plants.


If the gerbil can survive

to the age of four or five,

it will become quite unique

and maybe make it a whole week.
