Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

I'M Not Afraid of Dogs

I'm not afraid of dogs
  Why, they're as harmless as frogs
First they growl and bark at me
  Then they lift up their leg and pee

One hound tried to act real tough
  By tugging hard at my pants cuff
I cleared my throat with a giant roar
  Off the hound fled, on all fours

Another mutt jumped up on me
  He thought himself quite scary
I quickly choked him half to death
  He slunk away, out of breath

Yet there was one time, I admit
  That a dog got to me a little bit
This gorgeous female French poodle
  Perched on my lap and canoodled
