Breakfast at the Villa
Apollo is beginning
with a plastic appetizer
the meal
a cutback sleeve of
a five gallon bucket
fashioned to house
a large dog’s dish.
It is his.
We know this because it
has a large red A on the side
unlike his brother’s
which has a large red R
for Rocky.
They have access
to all the amenities.
These pedigrees
needn’t
bend down to eat.
Gracious NO!
This clever design
keeps their dishes
at shoulder height
a comfortable level for dining.
The cook is late
and Apollo being
extremely advanced
for a bull mastiff
unlike his rather vocal brother
who is whining
doesn’t voice his disdain
but instead has
brought his bucket
to the front overlooking the ponds
and will diplomatically
start
alone.
