What Happens In the Mustang Stays In the Mustang

I want to write up your adventures Ashleigh said.
Sometime later, I told her, after I am dead.
She did not understand and took an unauthorized selfie with me.
This made me mad, sol I took a dump on her beloved willow tree.

I am the king, so no one should take a photo without permission.
I drive a red 1969 convertible Mustang with a V-8 transmission.
Barney, my sidekick has always ridden shotgun.
We are adventurers, and we always have fun.

Where have you been today? Ashley often pries.
I give Barney a look, then I tell her incredible lies.
I am royalty; it is no one’s business where I have been.
Sometimes we dogs live a day full of sin!

Yesterday we chased seagulls up and down a beach.
Some lady gave us iced tea. Yuck! It was syrupy and peach!
Whatever we do is no one else’s business I tell my pal.
Barney agrees happily with a you-got-that-right bow wow.

It was supposed to be from the perspective of a dog.

The "if you can't sniff it, lick it, hump it, or eat it......just pee on it and move along" theory. The SHIFT in the middle was beautiful.....hilariously beautiful.

Oh, another one I wholeheartedly endorse and agree with. Now, if only I could get in and out of that Mustang! But, every day I do have my adventures, and for most of them, I do not invite strangers to join me.

I have invited strangers and have been thrilled with the outcome. Not during Covid though.
