Five Poems by Eero Ruuttila

GETTING THE NEWS FROM A 6-YEAR OLD

My Daddy had to slaughter our geese.
We used to have 10 but a fox ate 2 of the babies
& Daddy ran over 2 more in the driveway.
He shot all of them.
He should have used a needle & stuck it in their brains.
We were gonna have a big party.
They were pooping all over the yard.
They were so big they were hard to bury.
The holes Daddy made weren’t big enough.
