Many Countless Years Ago
Many countless years ago
dog was king of the land
He had beautiful horns
orders he issues for work
to be done with efficiency
He ordered animals to work
to level a mountain ranges
where he wanted a city built
but all animals tried and failed
with anger he decided to do it
Forward he jumped legs up
he gorged into the mountain
“I will show you are lazy”,
he murmured
he struggled out but the horn
remained inside the mountain
He lost the kingdom
He lost loyalty and horns forever
He is seen today urinating
on anything looking as mountain
“You made me to lose my kingship!”
and barking with head raised
to direction of any mountain
cursing it saying;
“The day I will grow another horn,
I’ll come for you.”
