A Little Bestiary for Human Use

Who hasn't heard—or been caught in—a familiar saying comparing people to animals?
Like a game, the author conjures these expressions into everyday poems that mingle humor, delight, melancholy, and bewilderment.
A wink, and a tribute, to all those animals—not so foolish after all—whom we so often mimic, and who, no doubt, watch us back like ever-hungry ogres.
