DOG DANCING

For Fran and Charlie

..................................

Have you ever seen a dog dancing...

Cavorting to an unheard canine beat?

Jaws apart, joyous grin enhancing

Upward flight from all four nimble feet.

 

Have you ever seen a dog dancing...

Eyes alight fixed on the outstretched hand

Of its human partner in innocent romancing?

Never still for long enough to stand.

 

Have you ever seen a dog dancing...

Delighting in its unselfconscious grace?

Inventing moves that send it gaily chancing

To plant a kiss on its partner's happy face.

I submit, MC. You've got me beat on the puns. No, wait! Were they acting on a lead?

JC...
A poor victim of "do or Dai" policing (did someone dial
ca-nine, ca-nine, ca-nine?) that had a licence to kill!
Ray - many thanks. My niece's much-pampered
pooch can be said to be the inspiration.

The one in North Wales isn't dancing anymore, MC. But fancy referring it to the Police Watchdog! Talk about a kangaroo court!

A nice image Mark and I am thinking somehow of a vent's dummy in the interplay as there is always some potential for reaction in the doggy world!!
