The Coyote

by Tom Hatch

The coyote chases the road runner
To far off a cliff
Realizes his mistake
Looks around looks down
Expected to fall
He tip toes back to the cliff
Standing there laughing and
Giggling looks over
The edge of the
Cliff
Thinks he has gravity licked
Tip toes out from the edge/verge
over into the air zip
He falls like an arrow
Shot up in reverse down
A cloud of dust ascends
Chuck Jones grins
And Mel Blanc goes beep, beep
A user of Acme products
Never to succeed
