Dumb Dog

DUMB         DOG


My dog goes out each day
To chase some cats at play
These felines climb trees with ease
He cannot climb the boughs 
Just sits there and bow wows
Cats scratch the tree hard and tease
So all his loud rough bark
Results in more rough bark
On his nose, and eyes, and knees

Entered in    Dr. Ram  Mehta’s  Contest   “Balassi Stanza” 

(Verse form is Balassi Stanza)
