My Startled Dog

It was so funny. My dog was outside the windown and I called her name.
Oh, let's let the poem tell it.

My Startled Dog
By Larry Linville

My dog was just outside my house.
With window opened, she was near.
As I spoke she looked up suddenly,
So I knew that she could hear.

She heard me call her name,
Looked up and saw a bug
at the moment it flew away
and she only gave a shrug.

If she could talk
I’d have heard her say,
“Oh, my daddy
Just flew away!”
