I’m a small dog sitting in a park <br />Pondering my next big bark <br />Should it be a mild yelp <br />A frantic woof asking for help <br />A general yap, a moody snarl <br />I haven’t done one of those for a while <br />Or a repeating loud deep ruff <br />An hour should be long enough <br />Or just a curl of my lip with a growl <br />But I lose the menace with a wag of my tail <br />I don’t want to scare away possible food <br />But want them to know I’m not in the mood <br />To be prodded and chased, just a minimal stroke <br />Will be all I need, its really no joke <br />The careful thought the problem will need <br />Think I’ll just sit here and chew on my lead<br /><br />Flying Lemming<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-poem-a-day-project-day-79/
