Homeless does not mean less-human; thanks for making us ponder, laugh and hopefully help. We all need and deserve a home... even slugs.

I like this clever poem and you make a good point! The reason I don't read more on PoemHunter than I do is because - at least on my computer - it takes so darn long to bring up a page! I get discouraged and tired of waiting.

It's too bad that too many people waste so much time and energy in being judgmental about people they do not know one thing about instead of getting out there in the world and doing a simple act of kindness- - handing out a blanket in the middle of winter.... I wish this poem could reach people who need to be reached and shake them out of their unloving mind-set- - My favorite couplet: A bird without a nest will find it hard to rest; a hare without a hole is someone's rabbit stew. 10
