Who Says Dogs Bark
Who the hell ever said dogs say "bark"?
My pup Willy-Paul disagrees,
He says that we should disembark,
From calling his sounds the stuff of trees.
Onomatopoeia,
Words that read as sounds,
"Bark" is an idiotic idea,
To define what is said by hounds.
"Woof" is another word I wouldn't,
Choose to describe the dogs I hear,
It's like a child who really couldn't,
Say the "l" in wolf; with a lisp it disappeared.
