This is really supposed to be a poodle? This looks like what would happen if one didn’t mutant-proof the electrical sockets around one’s house. Michael Jacksonesque nose, a hoof, the kind of mouth that you’d find on a drooling “slow” toddler… I just don’t get it. I never will.

I feel a song in my now, guys.

THE BALLAD OF THE PUPPY

One day a man rolled into town
And brought with him a cage
He told the people to gather ’round
As he set up on a stage

We held our breaths as he opened the locks
“Don’t be afraid,” he said
“It’s just a puppy” — but then inside the box
We saw a monster instead

Oooh, puppy!
With hooves instead of paws
Oooh, puppy!
It’s tail had ten sharp claws

Oooh, puppy!
It was the puppy
The puppy that came from Satan

#37 Street Corner Hooker :

Its hair stood up where it wasn’t bald
It’s nose looked like a man’s
It burned the earth wherever it sprawled
And it looked like it had plans

It wore a shirt over its hump
Its jaw was made of bread
When it turned around and took a dump
Someone fell over dead

Oooh, puppy!
Its ears were like a bat’s
Oooh, puppy!
It ate the flesh off cats

Oooh, puppy!
It was the puppy
The puppy that came from Satan

#38 Street Corner Hooker :

The man packed up when he saw no buyers
And sneered as we drew back
Drove off so fast smoke came from his tires
Which left a thick black track

We were just glad it went without brawl
But then I saw one night
That dog was listed as “whimsical”
On some little craft website

Oooh, puppy!
It went for forty bucks
Oooh, puppy!
The seller’s rating sucks

Oooh, puppy!
It was the puppy
The puppy that came from Satan

Oooh, puppy!
It was the puppy
The puppy that came from Satan!

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Ouch. I’m vaguely reminded of a seller I wandered across who sold pencil drawings of photos. They looked like they’d had some help via photoshop or some sort of tracing mechanism much like I assume this er, silhouette had. Not very handmade to me.

But I think my cat would be easier to silhouette cause he’s rather fat and potato-shaped.

P.S. silhouette is a hard word to spell correctly! What’s a good whimsicle spelling? Silowet?
