Sense Sonnet - Acher

No Fly Zone

I can't believe that I am here
In the oval Office. and am
With the President's eye and ear.
He seems not pleased with me - oh damn!
I see him irked, raising his hand.
Nervous, I try to settle down.
I simply do not understand
Why he calls me a nasty noun.
I get the Presidential swat,
Before I have time to say "bye."
P.E.T.A. thinks I should have been caught
And then let out of doors - this fly.

But, alas, it is not to be -
To bounce my grandkids on my knee.
