David Kavanagh Poet Monoku

Nine Legged Race

as a kid I once saw two dogs stuck back to back ~ somehow connected 
                                               >-<
my mum said someone had tied their tails together ~ her tone affected

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart September 19, 2023 at 7:52 AM LMAO. I’ve seen it happen once in the dog park, I couldn’t get away fast enough, the humans freaking out too much for me ;), David Kavanagh September 19, 2023 at 4:15 PM Haven’t seen it in a long time Mo, indeed for some reason humans tend to get freaked out by this phenomena, as a kid I was totally perplexed and bemused, cheers David

Charmaine Chircop September 10, 2023 at 11:56 AM Lol David Kavanagh September 10, 2023 at 10:53 AM A kid bewildered Charmaine, I simply couldn’t make sense of the grotesque situation, I guess my Mum only bought herself enough time to get me home lol, cheers David

Terry Flood September 9, 2023 at 4:49 PM Yeah, and my mum said the kerb was God’s pavement so we shouldn’t walk on it. Amusing write… but I love the title too David Kavanagh September 10, 2023 at 1:53 AM Ha our mums said lots of crazy stuff to get us over the line Terry, some we believed but the word was always to be found on the street, cheers David

Victor Buhagiar September 9, 2023 at 3:36 AM Good excuse to avoid explaining things. David Kavanagh September 9, 2023 at 4:51 AM The strange thing is Victor I probably wouldn’t have understood the truth, was way too young for the birds and bees when I first encountered this phenomenon lol, cheers David

Jan Allison September 7, 2023 at 2:40 PM ha ha ha - dog gone lol:-)hugs jan xx David Kavanagh September 7, 2023 at 3:01 PM It was so weird looking at them trying to run stuck together, and people chasing after them with buckets of water and sticks, cheers David

Lin Lane September 7, 2023 at 2:38 PM A biology lesson unfolding, but one you were yet too young to comprehend. Back to back… ummm Lin Lane September 7, 2023 at 3:00 PM Lol at your Dad's way of not dealing with the question. David Kavanagh September 7, 2023 at 2:56 PM Hadn’t got a clue what was going on Lin, but I definitely knew their tails weren’t tied together, I asked my Dad later when he got home from work, he just told me to shut up! Cheers David

Ilene Bauer September 7, 2023 at 1:42 PM ha! your mom was very quick-thinking and clever, david! David Kavanagh September 7, 2023 at 1:58 PM I wanted to believe her I really did Ilene, but when neighbours came out with buckets of water and started throwing it over the hounds, I just knew something else was going on lol, cheers David
