A woman sat down on a bench;
Her dog sat at her feet,
A rather giant canine,
But to make his look complete…
Around his neck his collar said,
“F**k off” in neon green.
It was a collar unlike any
I had ever seen.
The dog, though huge, looked gentle
So the warning didn’t seem
Like it came from him, but rather
From the human on his team.
The message, though, was blaring;
Even canines stayed away.
There’s nothing like a “F**k off” sign
To keep the world at bay.
