The Way of Dog

Dear Shoe-Legs
Are you coming? Are you? Are you?
Then shake wide awake and take my
advice
throw the Burs from your fur and
sliiiiiiide on the Ice.
Come flat-foot follow and paw-pad my way
for I have a thing
or four
to say about living this life according to
The Way of Dog.
And if you’re coming prick your ears
pause your paws and
listen sharp
stretch your limbs
swell your lungs with every howl
every scrowl with a full-blown
rrr rrrr rooooowwwww wwl llll
for this story is LOUD
it’s made to be growled
to be bellowed and roared to be
freed from your jaws to
travel Wind-wide and find those ears and
souls all waiting.
So come scramper
come trample
come schnuffle about
come discover this world
from a Dog’s point of snout.
Are you coming? Are you? Are you?
