springfield, ohio

it's doubtful

that the new influx of twenty

thousand

Haitians

into the small town

of Springfield, Ohio,

are actually eating cats

and dogs,

people's pets, and

stealing

the park

geese for a roasting

with small potatoes

and leaks.

but it's a fun week or so

on the internet.

the recipes are all over 

the place

for 
Dalmation Stew,

and Cat burgers.

Geese skewers, Dachshund

nuggets.

it's a nasty rumor

spread by the endless 

pranksters on the web, it's

just a joke

that's gotten

out of hand, but the moving

trucks are

lining up there,

just the same.
