Their little bodies shiver like the sea

No one sees them with their tails tucked under

They seek help, but they're helpless as can be

 

The little ones have moms with broken knees

Why the big ones don't gp home I wonder

Their little bodies shiver like the sea

 

Living, torturous lives, they want to flee

They sit in cages, with sounds like thunder

They seek help, but they're helpless as can be

 

With nowhere to go, they sit in their pee

The little ones are born, then they sunder

Their little bodies shiver like the sea

 

They add up in cages like one, two, three

They wonder why their "caretakers" blunder

They seek help, but they're helpless as can be

 

They want better, but he won't pay the fee

Their little bodies shiver like the sea

They seek help, but they're helpless as can be


The author's comments:

I had watched a documentary about puppy mills and all the horrible conditions that the desired puppies' parents come from, I guess it just really hit me. And then when my teacher said we had to write a Villanelle, I wanted to write about this.
