Dog's Thoughts

Need to understand:
What I am?
But more important:
What is this?
I have four paws and a tail
This has two paws and no tail
I'm little, but strong
This is bigger and taller
I like to leak this thing
It gives out strange sounds
What an unusual situation!
But not bad, if I have to say
I used to live in a cage
It came and brought me away
Here, where I'm wondering now
I don't know yet, but I like it.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Cleverly done Patrizia! It is often a wonder how different species process their thoughts in their daily living - you've managed to bring out a realistic reading. Well penned.

Who, as me, loves animals and owns dogs appreciates this naive thought of the animal rendered free by his owner. It perceives man as a thing for licking which emits strange sounds. But the dog is able to understand these strange sounds while man hardly is able to interpret barking!
