One Dog, Two Cats, Two Dogs
I’m with the dogs again;
I should set out a shingle
Neighbor’s dog (the only
Dog from whom I’ve
Received real hugs)
Friends’ cats, exercises
In indifference, until I’m
The only one to feed
Them
These two dogs in the
Family are older, whiny,
And demanding
I love them both
What kind of irony that
Saint Francis helps me
With my pets but has not
Yet arranged for the
Curing of my allergies
(from a photo-prompt of cows; photo by Annie Spratt)
Meanings
(nebby is evidently a Pittsburgh expression,
a compressing of neighborly and nosey)
definition of a cow: trying to be a horse
of a dog: doesn’t understand the diplomacy of cats
of a cat: one who perceives dogs as pointless
definition of a child: not a miniature adult
of a parent: nervous the length of child-life
a soldier: serving with all there is
definition of democracy: each one matters
of an earth: that without which we do not live
of God: maker; providentially nebby
