Being Watched by Dogs
two dogs sit at my feet watching me type
they are my staff, Buddy and Beau
They follow me around as if they are ducklings
and I am their mama duck
they would cram themselves into the bathroom
if I let them
but I don’t
this mama duck has limits
I am thinking about making them bacon for breakfast
but they also like turkey and ham
we like feeding our babies up
Daddy duck and I
They follow him around if I am not home
Which has only happened three days in a year
and will not happen again for another year
in the meantime, they are on guard
watching me, making sure I do not leave
as I just returned home
