O Pups Could Read

o puppies could read... they'd see their master's... not friends hypocrites o puppies could read... they'd have reasons to fear words newspaper thunder stroke... a loving pat learn... read their body language cowering... they've read yours a dog... a life friend broken hearts I've seen them mend they read the moment o pups could read they do... smells... sights... sounds... rustling newspaper Squidgy... my pet dog my friend... my brother... died... still... he walks with me Inspired by Maureen McGreavy https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/a_world_of_rolled_up_newspapers_1035210?title=a_world_of_rolled_up_newspapers&id=1035210 My deepest thanks Maureen!

Hmmmm big smiles. They are expert readers of body language and do know us better than we do ourselves. and newspaper thunder indeed. I like to muse that human's would get along a lot better if we stuck our snouts up each other's butts to say hello. No room for deceit there. Hi! This my age gender name and what I ate...

Oh dear, I'm laughing too, but I am sure your right, we would. Hi! This is my age, gender, name and what I ate... and not a spoken word, wagging bums and there on their way, :-) Mick

Loved it Mick, how true is your last line, ours too left us but we often, when on walks think of him. Tom.
