Coyote's Wilderness Lobby

Dog, Pony and Coyote
went to Capitol Hill
to lobby. Together,
Dog and Pony lobbied
for dog and pony shows.
In private, Dog lobbied
for more lenient policies
for pooping in public places,
and Pony lobbied for leg traps
to catch coyotes. Coyote 
lobbied for more wilderness.
Dog wound up with a top job
in the BLM, and Pony headed up
the Department of the Interior.
Coyote brought up the rear,
glumly clanking his leg trap 
down the capitol steps.

  
Hoovering for Dollars

"I'll never say never again,"
said Coyote as he watched
Pig run a Hoover through a
room of ten dollar bills.
He had said "never" in response
to the right answer on a quiz show.
Now, as Pig, who had responded
"always" to the same answer,
madly hoovered up thousands
of dollars, the host interrupted
with another answer and Pig 
responded "never." "Right,"
said the host. Coyote reconsidered
his options as Pig Hoovered out 
another room, this one
full of twenty dollar bills.
