How I Can Just Hate A Man

I met this Cuban
short and fat
with a big barrel belly
he had a voice
I might poetically describe
as baritone
but really
was fucking annoying
he told me a story
he used to live near the swamps
with his wife
who was frightened of the frogs
that came in the house
he would squash them with a spade
as if he was crushing an egg
he said
sometimes toads would come too
big fat ugly fuckers
as large as cauliflowers
too big to squash
he had to shoo them away with a brush
I wish I could do the same to him.
