Wag More, Bark Less

Accidental Poet



I swear my dog is

Trying to tell me something

As he looks at me and howls

Prompting me to answering

 

There I am in conversation

With my dog Satuit

We’re almost out of his cookies

 He looks at me like he knew it

 

So, I grab the truck keys

“Guess we’re going to the store”

Causing a waging tail

 Knowing he’ll soon have more

 

Quite often I’ll look at him

To see his tail wagging

If only he could talk

I know a deal he’d be haggling

 

Always wanting to run and play

Exhausting this old man

I’m not as young as I used to be

Can’t keep up with a canine Olympian

 

If he could, I know he’d say

Just relax Daddy and don’t stress

Have a cookie with Satuit

Wag more, bark less

    Shall I bring Fido round? Will they play together?! lol.

    • Accidental Poet

      Oh, they'll definitely play. But if you start singing Orchi, they'll both start howling to drown you out. 😁

      Brilliant!
      (even if I didn't love dogs, as much as I do
      I would still be entranced by these pitch-perfect
      majestic words)
      'the wise ones
      invest and entrust
      in those unfathomable depths
      of a dogs, unwavering
      love and loyalty...!'
      thank you! dear cherished Poet
      this is such a memorable read

      Wonderful words AP. When Mary and I go up to our coffee house on a Wednesday morning there are some friends there with two golden retrievers and I cannot get in without giving them a treat first.

        Even dogs have security check points Andy. And obviously, you and Mary have clearance for entry. 😉
