Green Wars

Green Wars


Damn, we hired a pest control service
to get rid of the pigeons,
and now we've got pterodactyls.

What next, velociraptors?

How would we get rid of them?

I fear for the future,
would that I could pull a lever
and bail out of this cycle of ever escalating combat
against the slings and arrows, the pistols,
the shotguns and cannons, the tanks,
missiles and bombs of outrageous garden pests

Where will it all end?

How 'bout right here?

The last line "how 'bout here?"
is redundant.
