Boston
Stand your ground:
you have earned it.
You are a little old man,
defying the neighbors
in your black-and-white pajamas.
Who ever skinned a poodle
and gave you a bigger heart?
Was it a fire or a robbery
that made your dark eyes blaze
and start from your skull?
Who pulled your tail
so much that wore it out,
but never raised a growl?
Still you stand your ground
and well deserve it;
the blood of bulls,
thick yet under your hide,
denying that you snore.
