Notes About The Poem

For Your Choice T Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

Dog Thoughts

He sat with slightly tilted head.
He didn't wish to be misled.
The command seemed arbitrary,
and, frankly, pointless - very.
Why would he want to sit like stone
when he could be burying a bone?
As a proud bulldog of station,
he had some reservation.
Chewing on nonviolent resistance
and his owner's strange insistence,
he decided not to risk it.
After all, it was a biscuit.

Hello David, Well you made me grin with so much wit and warmth packed into a bulldog’s stubborn heart! I love how you capture the inner logic of our four-legged friends, their quiet rebellion, and the irresistible pull of a biscuit. Very clever, charming glimpse into canine philosophy. Spring Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

I guess a dog can only take things one day at a time!
