Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

A Walk in Another Dimension

    Out for a walk together
      a dog and a man on the heather
    Which was which not easy to tell
      the dog, perhaps, the one wearing the bell

    For the dog looked like the man
      and the man, though unplanned
    looked so much like the dog
      that if they played leapfrog

    you could never tell one from another
      even swear that they might be two brothers

    So if you are out and about and happen to see
      a dog and man playing leapfrog, and you’re not visually

    impaired or something unfortunate like that
      ~ I’d say the ‘Twilight Zone’s’ your new habitat

Valsa George August 8, 2024 at 5:03 AM Though a dog and a man may not look like brothers, there can develop a bond between them stronger than that of brothers. I was wondering how your poem would end. Well composed, dear Gershon. Gershon Wolf August 8, 2024 at 6:33 PM Have you ever watched reruns of the old 'Twilight Zone' series. If you can catch a good one, they're worth a 20-minute look-see (if, that is, you have a TV).

Hilda Greenhough August 7, 2024 at 10:49 PM People and their dogs sometimes have a similarity. A true dog lover always feels a compliment when told this. I have a cat , but we are very dissimilar. Gershon Wolf August 8, 2024 at 6:35 PM I once had a pet rock. Since similar types repel each other, we dropped the relationship...
