When the dog barks <br />Don’t crack, I remark <br />Watch your back <br />Maybe it is about to attack <br /> <br />A dog is commonly your loyal slave <br />But your master when it is brave <br />It can be your best friend <br />It can be your worst enemy <br /> <br />When the dog barks <br />Get ready on your mark <br />It senses you in the dark <br /> <br />When the dog barks <br />And you don’t talk back <br />It will sense the courage you lack <br /> <br />When the dog barks <br />You may need to give it a whack <br />To set it on the right track <br />Before it embarks <br />On a mission with its mates in a pack <br /> <br />When the dog bites <br />You must put up a fight <br /> <br />When the dog bites <br />Think hard, do what is right <br /> <br />When the dog whines <br />Even you should know it’s not fine <br /> <br />Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-the-dog-barks/
