The First of June
Beware the First of June
For it brings lions and pandas
With sharp teeth to bite
And tear
At you
Also beware
The Hiffolump of Doom
Because, like the name implies,
It is not a friendly animal
But mostly
Beware the First of June
It comes in like a lamb
But a giant mutant lamb
Covered in poisonous spikes
So you shouldn’t touch it
Or your fingerprints will fall off
I should have written this poem
Twenty four hours ago
Or more
To give you adequate warning
Now
It’s really too late
Isn’t it?
The First of June is totally here
Bearing lambs and lions and pandas
To poison and stab and eat you
Not necessarily
In that order
You know how animals are
Unordered.
