Once Upon a Wolf

let's howl at the moon...

Once Upon a Wolf

When I woke up from my nap I found

myself surrounded by a pack of wolves~

They looked quite menacing--- had a haggard  

 and hungry look about them and were none too friendly.

 

I approached the largest and meanest

looking wolf and offered him a cigarette-

It’s a known fact that wolves crave the

smell and taste of tobacco--- so what better

way to break the ice than to share a smoke

with the leader of the pack.

 

We each inhaled and exhaled deeply of the

smoke and offered a toke to the rest of his

motley gang. This seemed to calm them down and no

longer view me as a threat.~

 

The Alpha Wolf in quick barks and growls

told me of their dire conditions. Their

hunting grounds were shrinking and many

of their pups were going hungry-

 

I assured them I would find them better

lands to hunt and all the tobacco they

could smoke… if they agreed on a few

preconditions---   

 

What choice did they have…?

 

The Alpha Male (whose name was Ulysses)

led me to a secluded alcove and invited me

to seal the deal with a howling.

 

We each lifted our heads and howled at the moon …
