Canus Demonicus

Looking out through blind white eyes,
he knows not what we see.
Sam the zombie dog.
He is not made of beef.

Ugliest dog in the world; he won
that contest hands down. It’s hard
to imagine anything more horrible
than that oversized rat.

With thin hammy ears, decayed
yellow teeth like those of a dying
man who smoked all his years
and skin like a rotting chicken breast,
The hell hound plans his attack.

First he will enter the ugly dog pageants,
then the time will come. He will
call forth the demon dogs
and bring doom upon us all.

He’s an alien, a harbinger of death.
Proof that the world is weird and gross.
Wonders like this are best left unknown.
Now I have to find a bucket.

I wrote a poem about Sam the Ugly Dog for my creative writing class. I hadn't heard that he had died until after I wrote this.
Goodbye, Sam. You will be missed, but thank f*ck we don't have to look at you anymore.
