Genre Redux redux: Dog Star, by Shay

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

Some of you may recognize this; last year I posted it to povetry_slam, the twisted brainchild of Lyra and Lynn -- there were about ten members on that comm. But I was inspired by lucifercircle's creativity in writing a folk song, and thought you might forgive the recycling of Used Poetry. Hopefully it will be new to most of you.

Suffice to say it's, uh, slam poetry. By Diefenbaker.



I got the woof
I got the power
I got the moves
I got the hunger

I got the leap
I got the bound
I got the wolf
I got the hound

I got the bitches
I got the plan
I got three squares
I got the Man

I got the city
I got the snow
What more you need, Man?
Hell if I know
