Outside to Play
(borne out of neighborly annoyance)
Well, it’s quiet now
I have a moment
Not at five-thirty when
Everyone above had to stir
And drop barbells when waking
Maybe the human’s gone
And the dog is dreaming
Of bigger places
Than the third floor
Grass just outside the door
Where rabbits might be
Chased but not be caught
So that there’s always fun
Dog fun
Rabbit fun

Upstairs neighbours can be hell on earth. I hope their dog is better behaved.

I like the dog. We get along well.

I thought you might somehow. Some dogs have a hard time with their lord and master.

So much depends on how dogs are treated. I’m tearing as I think this, knowing how some have been victims to caprices. Human owners have often been mistreated, too, by other humans. Frankly, I’m not tearing up so much.

Getting out to play and /or just take a walk is a good idea for dogs and human alike. Cheers to you.
