The Dog With a Hearty Appetite
The dog with a hearty appetite
didn't see his lunch in the bowl
and chased after a tiny, brown cat...
how mean he had gotten that noon
I couldn't explain it with my frown.
And he barket all afternoon,
wanting to break free of the bondage,
but it only stirred my rage...
I sat by him and talked like a loon.
He came closer and tried to aplogize,
with clwas scratching the cement pavement,
I felt sorry for him and patted him in surprise;
and how loud he howled for contentment.
Ever since I've stopped punishing him,
because he has finally learned how to behave
and love other pets and respect them;
today he has taught the scary, little cat to imitate
the dog with a hearty appetite.
