DOG IN THE ROAD
�By Russ
There�s an old dog down the lane
who loves to lie in the middle of the
road, soaking up the mid-day sun.
He doesn't care if you do think you�ve got
somewhere important to go, and won�t
bother to look up when your toot your horn.
He doesn�t have a care in the world,
and is damned sure he isn�t buying into
any �hurry up to nowhere fast� plans of mine.
He�s just another one of those signs
on the road that show me which way to go.
A pair of Red-Tailed Hawks circle lazily
overhead, doing some serious hunting
from way up there, but without all that
tension and strain of way down here.
Another hint supplied to me, suggesting I
might do the same.
Misty is curled up in the shade...she�s
a fast learner...took her no time at all
to catch on.
Tipper�s asleep under the bench, must just
come natural for him.
Jimmy the cat, is under the house where
it�s dark and cool, catching a few winks.
The birds in the house have heads tucked
beneath their wings.
Wonder why I�m so sleepy, and feel a nap
coming on....looks like I�m finally catching on.
