Coyote Reading a Candy Wrapper

"Hello, Mr. Coyote, how do you fare,

sitting and reading on the museum staair?

You are so handsome ~~ really, quite dapper,

completely absorbed in your candy wrapper."

-

"Your taste in reading, I find quite strange.

Why not try poetry, just for a change?

I happen to have here a fine magazine,

a showcase for poets, the best ever seen."

-

"My Portals, with you, I'd happily share

if I may join you, there on the stair.

I long have admired you from afar,

as, daily, I drive by in my car."

-

"So often I've wanted to stop for a chat

and, I must confess, give you a pat.

Do you, like my dog, enjoy being petted?

And, for a treat, is your appetite whetted?"

-

"Or, are you content just to sit here alone,

reading your wrapper on a stair made of stone?

Am I intruding on your daily routine?

Am I forcing on you, my magazine?"

-

"Oh, no Mrs. Dillon, I've enjoyed our visit,

and I find your Portals to be most exquisite.

Please, do stop again when e'er you are free,

you may scratch my ears ~~ and we'll read poetry!"
