Yo, Furries...

Stop it. Just stop it. (A quadru-haiku.)

Furries in the house,

Animals have exposed butts.

That's why they have tails.

***

You don't need a tail.

You have pants that you can wear.

Guys, you don't need tails.

***

I understand

that animals are really

cute, cool, and fluffy.

***

But animals use

tails to swat away dung flies.

You do not need to.

***

this is probably the DUMBEST thing i have ever written.

i love animals. all animals. all of them are so cute and furry! but you don't NEED a tail. that's why humans DON'T have tails. because we legit have pants and do not have to swat away dung flies.

and also imagine how uncomfortable having a tail would be? you would have to sit on it all the time?! and imagine how terrible it would be to try to find pants?!? that would just ruin your life!

i would love some furry ears, those would be sick. (I'm a ninth grader. Stop looking at me like that.) but a tail? NO WAY. never a tail.

leave a comment + tell me how dumb this is and if i should continue posting random thoughts in quadru-haiku format just for fun.

    Mwahaha, excuse to go on about the function of tails. Tails serve as thermoregulation, letting off excess heat. Also for adjustment in balance, it operates in coordination with the inner ear sense of equilibrium to calibrate the directional movement of the tailed being. As you know humans have the remnants of a vestigial tail that tapers at the base of the spine called the coccyx. Your cover photo expresses all of this, so as I see, we should accept ourselves the way we are, born with pants to help our balance and thermoregulation ;)

    First of all, the picture made me laugh out loud...and then, I thought about all the people that show their butts, literally and figuratively...they need pants. Then I think, if I were a human cat, I would love my tail...I would sashay for things and people I like and flick it if I didn't like them. Instead, I've been told that my eyebrows do a lot of talking if I'm a little peeved. See, what your marvelous poem has done to me, Chloe? lol
