ARTIE AND FRED

NEW YORK CITY

UNDERTOW

This is the pits.

I’m no Mark Spitz.

I prefer, on the whole,

My water safely in a bowl.

PHILOSOPHICAL

Do I look like I’ve been caught

Deep in thought and with emotion fraught?

As if some distant land I’ve charted?

Don’t be fooled. It’s just that I’ve farted.

JASPER

ROWAYTON, CONNECTICUT

I LIKE TO BARK

I like to bark for no reason—

Don’t need no mailman, don’t need no rabbit.

I bark because it’s deeply pleasin’;

It goes much deeper than mere habit.

I’m happy to be one of those pets

Whose barking amounts to a kind of Tourette’s.

Or, to put it more starkly,

I tend to see life through a glass barkly.
