My Dogs Have Fun Outside

Beau my young dog gazes toward the west
He stands, barks, and runs up the driveway
He comes back from the east
Meaning he has circled the house

He stares at me
plunks down and puts his head on his front paws
I hear other dogs barking
At least two, from the south

Beau does not seem to notice them
A loud rough bark from my right startles me
It is Buddy, my big dog; I did not know he was there
He begins running up the driveway, Beau chases him

They are barking as if bandits with machetes are up there
Lopping off the neighbor’s heads and feet.
They come back from the east,
With long tongues and happy smiles.
