John Byron Yarbrough: Dog Flips Burgers

Third Prize Poetry

 



Dead flies in beer batter
Side order of onion skins
Melon rind picked clean
Trough water sipped through straw
Chicken lunch on Wall Street
Dog flips burgers
Waiting for dot.com market rebound
Sells rubber bone on internet auction
Too politically correct to chase cats
Listens to classical music on PBS
Supports union demands
Burns paw on grill
Swats another fly
