'HIS EXPLANATION'
(published post-mortem)

'Cross the carpet I rapidly scuttle
'Neath the silver hot toaster I huddle
Up cupboards I crawl
On high shelves I sprawl ...
Nope, I sure ain't a guy you'd call 'subtle.'

Though my sole motivation is sordid,
It rarely goes by unrewarded -
For I am a thief!
A thief of roast beef,
And anything else I'm afforded!

Deep into the trash can I scoop
And all o'er the counter I poop.
I don't mean to be rude;
It's just: I need some food -
Anything!  Even nine-day-old soup.
