Three Guesses
Originally published in Out on a Limb, an Anthology for Friends June 2020
Little dogs,
To show how “big” they are,
Growl and snap in a mean gruff bluff;
And “little men,”
Yell and beat their chests and their wives
To prove they’re big, rough, tough.
But when truly formidable challenges
Finally come their way,
Three guesses.
Who’s first to run,
And which dog has his day?
