A Small Dog Is To A Large Zucchini
A Small Dog Is To A Large Zucchini
A small dog is to a large zucchini
what a bungalow is to a road (six lane),
what a tadpole is to a Peach Bellini
made from a magnum of Champagne,
what a thimble is to a Fred Fellini
and miso soup was to Charlemagne–
the nexus, to some, seems very teeny,
to others, perhaps, it’s simple, plain.
All I know is that my large zucchini
and my small dog just aren’t the same.

The little dog looks quite bewildered! I wonder what’s going on in his mind!

She is a very old dog and is a bit bewildered generally.

Haha That’s fantastic! Sometimes my chihuahua could pass as a (not so giant) zucchini when she’s wearing her green winter sweater =)
