Salt Study

Hey Babe, How ya doin’? How ya been? C’mon, invite me in!
Hey, nice place! Say, what drawer are knives in?
Nice dog, say what’s his name? Does he sit, does he fetch, play dead or beg?

Hey boy, How ya doin’? How ya been? C’mon,  she’s in the cage,
Does she sit, does she walk alone?
Look! She pissed all over the carpet, poor *****!
Knock1 Knock!
“Who is it?”
Come on, Invite ‘em  in!
Say, I’m Michael, your daughter said I’d stay……

I am not a pro on any form of poetry but...I know when I read a poem if I have enjoyed it. Now I have read yours and I have indeed enjoyed it Jonathan. I wish you a wonderful weekend and hope you find much inspiration to continue with your writing endeavors. Love, Carol
