Standing on its hind-legs, <br />Wagging its long tail, <br />Panting with its tongue out, <br />Without its fore-legs! <br /> <br />Stands a dog so freak-born, <br />Until dusk, from morn; <br />Passers-by go pat him, <br />Giving things to eat! <br /> <br />Smiling canine always, <br />Walks like human beings; <br />With its hind-legs strong as <br />A Kangaroo’s back-feet! <br /> <br />Thrilling all the people, <br />Peering at the beast; <br />Stupefying crowds that <br />Throng to see his feat! <br /> <br />Living with just hind-legs, <br />The dog can’t go on fours; <br />Smiling to the people, <br />Everywhere, he goes. <br /> <br />Having just but two legs, <br />The dog walks, runs so neat; <br />‘What undaunted soul, God! ’ <br />Say people on the street. <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 6-26-2008<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dogo-erectus/
