Challenge:

Write a poem that includes dialogue and some witty wordcraft and/or debate between two unhumans, that is, between two animals, objects, concepts, etc,.  For example the Body and soul, a cat and a dog, a rock and a tree, a lock and key, war and peace.  Be as crafty as you may!

Slug and Snail

"Snail, old friend, I must admit
I love your mobile home.
Can I rent it for a bit
Or try it on a loan?"

"Slug, old pal, forget my home!
Your yearning has a catch to it:
So long together, home and I,
I’ve grown too much attached to it!"

Essorant:  Truly a wonderful challenge, and I hope it gets many replies!  I suspect you have a frog or two in your pocket to contribute!

Best, Jim

Lion and Gazelle:


"Slow down, Gazelle,
you run too fast
Across the Serengeti!
Let me, please
Come closer, just
Because you look so pretty!"


"Ah Lion!  You have proved false friend
To sisters and to brothers.
I think I’ll keep my distance
While I have my legs and druthers!"


Can't help myself.     Jim

Clock and Timer

“Oh Timer, dim-wit kitchen gadget,
You mark but what, an hour?
I mark the days and years and more!
Now THERE’S a source of power.”

“You tock, you tick infernally
Until the Final Day,
Whilst I go “Ding” when dinner’s done,
And hold the Char at bay!"


Well, OK, Maybe I need to up the meds...

FBI Scrambler says to the Allergy Thumb Pricker

My God man,
you've ripped the drapes.

Eat your soup
and shut the hell up
before I put a quarter
in your meter.

But the tapestry you
foon-buf!

It's buffoon
you two-bit
hose salesman,
scrapin' women's gum
off the sidewalk!

You mean what!?

THE CAT CAN WALK, BABY!! says
the Allergy Thumb Pricker to the
FBI Scrambler.



Ah, who cares if it's bad. I was going to have a conversation between a man's teeth and a man's ass; but I knew it wouldn't be appropriate. Because this place is crawling with kids, hahaha.

Ah, what the hell...


Skin of his teeth and the Bottom of his Pit

Skin says to the Other end,

"Well good job man,
you blew it again."

"Pbbbtttt!"
replies the Other End.


Sorry Ess, I couldn't resist.
