"Simplicity" rearranged


Bigger ain’t better

To the average
canine brain
it causes neither
stress nor strain

to outsmart humans
once again;
it’s pretty easy,
that is plain.

I hear the humans
brag and boast
about their brain size;
it’s their most

oft-spoken claim
because it’s s’posed
to mean they’re smart
and you are toast
.

But we just laugh,
my pals and me,
because we’re smart
enough to see

brain size is not
a kibble scoop;
it’s them, not us,
who bag our poop.
