Watch dog
Imperious
Serious
Deadly serious
Nothing gets by him
Snarling, growling, sniffing
Saliva drooling
He watches
Nothing gets by him
Steely eyed
Laser beams
Like x rays
Looking, dissecting, inspecting
Ready, oh so ready
To pounce
Ney attack
Rush like a stampeding elephant
And stomp any semblance of meaning
Or utterance
24/7 and he’s long serving
Going way back
To when I was so very small
And didn’t know it was not ok to just say
Say what…say what?
I know not
But it must have been important
Because I bought this dog
Snarling, drooling….ever ready to pounce.
