Clever Tara

Our dog ran away what could I say
as she pulls on my hand
simply wouldn’t stay
was gone in a flash
where the leash from behind
bounced with a crash
I chased wildly behind
without any gain
as the poor thing ran going insane
the clamor the clacking
making such a roar
all the neighbors tore from
their front door
“what’s this my goodness?!”
they all yelled
“I’ve lost my dog!” replied as I nearly fell
“it’s 6 in the morning THIS is just swell!!”
they screamed
“so sorry but please don’t be mean”
“stop running” they said
“your dog we’ve just seen”
each pointing a different way
but she wouldn’t THAT silly part play
so I took off in a start
without further delay
finally reaching the door
wanting this never to repeat
found Tara almost asleep
for indeed...
she is very clever

Moral: Don’t underestimate the intelligence of an animal
