A little of Rachel Portman’s “Benny and Joon” goes a long way in waking up this often jaundiced and wacky mind.  Indulge me in a little spoonerism.
Dogging the Walk by Odin Roark Yes Like so many things Humans got that wrong too Check it out To walk a dog Suggests A tether with a human first Dog second Like walking a kid Or grandma Or pouting mate All have tethers (gender be damned) A connection putting the walker Up front Leading the walked behind Occasionally loping to the side Depending on sobriety or age Now as to dogs The walker’s tether extends Forward Pulling Jerking At times Jettisoning not the walked But the walker So next time Get it right Say it accurate Walking the dog Wrong Dogging the walk Right Earth to Mars This is the Tolbert Report Signing off for today More of earth’s backward living tomorrow… Assuming they survive
