LOOK! IF THE DOG SAID HE SAW IT, THEN....HE SAW IT! OK?
LOOK! IF THE DOG SAID HE SAW IT, THEN....HE SAW IT! OK?
The dog said
he saw it.
The cat said
she saw it too.
Now, that cat hadn't
seen nothin', but...
wishing she had
she pretended she had.
That cat was
a notorious liar.
One couldn't believe
a meow
she had to say.
And yes, a passing parrot
seen it( or so it was said )
but, having just escaped
a cage
had paid no attention
whatsoever to it.
Parrot was greedy for
that blue stuff
folks called
the sky.
Fly away into its forever.
Truth to tell
there wasn't
a human to be seen.
So, that left only
the dog & the dog's
shadow
panting in the sun.
An old umbrella
lay abandoned &
had nothing
whatsoever to do
with it.
A baby's shoe
lay shipwrecked
amongst a sea
of *******.
It was a golden yellow
with a bright scarlet stripe.
The dog was thinking
about food.
That dog was always thinking
'bout food.
The dog snapped
at a flea that was
bitting it's
right buttock.
"What...was it?"
I hear you say.
"What...was...it!"
Well, now - I guess
you'd have to
ask the dog that. . .
This was an empty street in Malta so whatever was happening or had happened was...neither here or there
