Pardon the Dog Turd?

Disappear stained grains of sand
with your dog turd washed out to sea,
subsiding tides will take care of you
as chatter recedes now you are no longer
a threat to bathers standing back in the shallows
to let you out into the open sea on your pungent raft.

Saltwater loosens stinking fibres
breaking up your dear turd; grains of sand
hold on for dear life to your sinking rafts;
jellyfish fed, then spat you out while hungry crabs
will devour what’s left once sunk unto the seabed.
At least in your demise nature had some use for you.

More than the respect dogs arses have for beaches around the world.

Thank you as always, Meg for giving my words a platform. 🙏
Thank you all for reading and your precious time. Always. J. 🙏✨
