Poetry: Dogs

by Antonia Williams

Created on: December 28, 2010

Man’s best friend?


He’s “man’s best friend”

But I’ll go round the bend.

If I take any more.


He barked all night

And had a fight

With the cat next door.


He chewed his lead

And then he weed

On the kitchen floor.


Doesn’t come when I call

And jumped the wall

Into the pet store.


He chased a rabbit

(it’s becoming a habit)

And got thorns in his paw.


He got stuck in a hole

When we went for a stroll

What’s he looking for?


But then he licks my hand

And I understand

It’s not such a chore.


And at the end of the day,

Quiet together, I’d say

He’s my best friend for sure.
