When Falls The Dogtooth

A motorway is a very strong wind.
A zombie is a small yellow flower.
Whilst a harpoon, as we all know, is a dangerous weapon.
Much like a VCR. In the wrong hands.
A pussy is a switch for turning off lights.
And a telephone looks a lot like a salt cellar.
Every family is a little dysfunctional. Let’s be honest here.
And most live their lives in glass hothouses.
Though most would hate to admit it.
So, where’s the harm in a few white lies? We’ve all done it.
And, in this day and age, if a middle-class father
wants to keep his 3 adult children safe from the
pernicious influences of the outside world,
by turning the family-home into
a fenced-off hilltop compound,
then who can blame him?
Now on your knees, and bark like a dog.
One day you’ll thank me for all this.
