Odie's First Kiss
Odie's First Kiss
Karyn Indursky
July 2012
In a boat
sat Odie watching Jon
fish while Garfield
schemed and plotted.
Jon felt a tug
on the line and
went to reel it in.
It was harder than expected.
Odie tried to help,
but Jon fell backwards
into his bucket.
Awaiting Jon's buttocks
was a crab
with razor-sharp claws.
Garfield pushed Odie
out of his freakin' way
and got the catch.
Jon got up
and Garfield threw the octopus
at his stunned face.
Odie was annoying.
He wouldn't stop barking
or trying to lick Garfield.
Garfield was hungry for lasagna.
Jon wouldn't comply
and Odie was too dumb
to leave him alone.
Garfield took control
of their boat
with Odie using the paddle.
However, to his dismay
at the end of the paddle
was an electric eel
that wanted to give him a kiss.
