Our dog ran away what could I say

as she pulls on my hand

simply wouldn’t stay 

was gone in a flash

where the leash from behind 

bounced with a crash 

I chased wildly behind 

without any gain

as the poor thing ran going insane

the clamor the clacking 

making such a roar

all the neighbors tore from 

their front door

“what’s this my goodness?!”  

they all yelled

“I’ve lost my dog!” replied as I nearly fell 

“it’s 6 in the morning THIS is just swell!!”

they screamed 

“so sorry but please don’t be mean”

“stop running” they said 

“your dog we’ve just seen” 

each pointing a different way 

but she wouldn’t THAT silly part play

so I took off in a start 

without further delay

finally reaching the door 

wanting this never to repeat

found Tara almost asleep 

for indeed...

she is very clever

 

Moral: Don’t underestimate the intelligence of an animal
