A Kiss of Gratitude
A fire started on the two-story house occupied by five people
As smoke poured from an upstairs bedroom of the couple
Emergency officials responded in time, all the members safe
The last to come out was a pregnant Doberman with her kids.
The Doberman walked up to the fire fighter, tired and exhausted
The fighter knelt down, took off his mask and a camera clicked
The doggy looking at the masked must’ve thought of canine kind
Or seeing a unknown man the doggy might have his nose sniffed.
Now, the firefighter didn’t rescue her, but a simple coincidence
A poet has to evince what could have happened for instance.
A story went round about this among the sentimental people
Granted that the dogs are very grateful and sensible creature.
Dogs in no circumstances can behave like this as humans do
Except either in a miracle stories or make-believe stories a few.
Imagination without learning, has wings and no feet
