Our Two Dogs

Our Two Dogs
By Larry Linville

Our dogs are very different
that you can plainly see.
One has to take a little squat
the other lifts a leg to pee.

When you will meet them on a track
one barges on boldly ahead.
While the other with great caution
will humbly step pack instead.

The first dog got in my wife's way
for her it was a big mistake.
His legs and hers got all mixed up
and made a bone in her foot brake.

Now she limps around on crutches
watching him with the greatest care.
Of course he walks all around
ignoring the fact she is there.

If he was a person we'd sit down
and try to have a long talk.
But he's a dog and that's a fact
so we have to watch where we walk.
