When the gerbil died
I didn’t know what to do
so I danced a mournful dance
and I bought a tiny box
and I went to the back yard
and I prayed on it
and then I grilled the gerbil
so we could be closer
than we’d ever been before
and when I threw him up
ten minutes later
I buried it in the hole
and bought some cigars
to put in the box.

What did you do
when the gerbil died?
