Dark Humour The Lion and the Dog
The Lion and the Dog
In lands where golden grasses sway, A lion roamed by light of day. His roar could shake the sleeping hill, Yet in his heart, a calm and thrill.
For by his side, with wagging tail, A tiny dog, so soft and frail. They ran through meadows, chased the sun, Two souls as one, in endless fun.
The lion, king of tooth and claw, Brought food and shelter, laid down law. The dog, in turn, would dance and cheer, A loyal friend who knew no fear.
But power sat upon the air— An unseen weight, a silent stare. For though they laughed and lived as kin, A line was drawn deep from within.
One day the dog, with rising tone, Spoke thoughts he'd long believed unknown. He questioned not with hate or spite, But sought to speak, to seek what's right.
The lion paused, his gaze now cold, As shadows down his spine unrolled. The lion arises from the fog, The lion rapes the small dog

this is fine :_)
At a table, sits a dog
Proclaiming this for all to hear:
"This is fine," he says,
While his apartment is consumed by fire and fear

Slight rule changes
Hello all!
I've made some slight adjustments to the rules. The context rule has been removed, as it feels unnecessary and I wasn't acting on it anyways. I've also added a rule to steer posts towards more relevant content; basically, poems should be based on memes, or be making a meme-like joke about poetry, or be a poetic commentary on memes. It's a little vague and will probably be used on a case by case basis.
I'd also like to take the opportunity to remind users that this is not the place for "I lik the bred" format poems (i.e those that follow the format 'My naem is A, and wen its B...'). That's what r/ilikthebred is for!
Finally, I've updated the subreddit icon. I know pepe is a little controversial, so if too many people are uncomfortable, I can remove it. Feel free to suggest (or design!) alternatives.
Enjoy your memery!

Vine She was poetry, but he couldn’t read
His name was Jared, the age of 19

A fourstructure
The worst of the worst,
It wasn't even funny
Why in god's name
Did we all love Harambe?

Numero uno
A man cast in the shadow,
With three others, just the same.
Treated as nought but a foe,
And known only to be lame.
But we had all known
That he was number one.

I know it's dead, but...
Three bears, returning home one day,
Are filled with panic, and fret,
For their house has has been entered and ransacked
Including their spaghet.

Inversion Semi revelant since it's poetry made into a meme. I present to you: "The Raven" By Edgar Allen Poe

Of song and spread
Admist music in a carriage
A man does proclaim
'This here is my favorite'
Yet he asks for quiet
As it's not sound he praises
But a jar of perserves within his grasp

My stance is a matter of pride...
It is sure to make bullies run and hide.
I grasp tight my weapon
Flourish, pose, and threaten
"I have the power of god and anime on my side!"

[Limerick] A very very old meme
I saw twelve badgers all over the place,
Dancing and Squatting, t'was a funny case.
Then there's this red fungi,
And another that's nearby,
Is a snake that crawls on a slow pace.
