The Unconscious

I carry a cane these days
And sometimes observe the expressions of others.
I wonder if people and dogs and cats
Keep expecting me to use my stick on them.
It’s what I think about a lot for my amusement,
Not so much to strike them,
But sometimes to just tap or wave it
Until I have their bloody attention!

Still there are some people
Who need a serious beating
And there are some pets
That need to be nudged or whacked.
I wasn’t consciously planning, though,
To carry out the verdict.
