Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Best In Show

Best-in-show
We cannot all be that, right?
Do we even want to be?
Or would it be silly …

Watching humans follow commands.
Jump.
Sit.
Run.
Stop.
Trot.

Best-in-show
We all want the prize money
And the ribbons

But who wants to do
All of that parading?
Not this dog.

Michelle Faulkner March 14, 2019 at 12:55 PM I like watching dog shows sometimes, and have wondered what it would look like if the humans where being shown - 'not this dog' either!
