More Arms Needed

More Arms Needed
By Larry R Linville

I took both dogs to see the vet
to have their yearly test.
We were going back to the car
when I became very stressed.

With a leash in each of my hands,
a handful you would agree,
the leashes tangled in a knot
completely frustrating me.

Then the wind blew off my cap
and as I made a desperate chase
my pants started to fall down
causing me to have a red face.

With one hand I held one leash
my second hand held the other
somehow I freed one of my hands
so my pants I could gather.

I stepped on my cap to stop it
while I pulled up my pants.
As I put it on my head
I looked to see who saw my dance.

It’s hard to run dragging two dogs
with your pants falling down.
But since nobody saw me
it wasn’t the talk of the town.
