Wind Puppy

Like a cantankerous puppy, Dancing in circles around me, The wind whines and whimpers, Demanding my attention! It teases as I walk, pulling At my flapping coat-tails! Leaping for my scarf, It nearly knocks me down! It noses up my pantlegs And then my sleeves. It nips my fingers and toes With its sharp teeth. I turn into my driveway, And, just that suddenly, The puppy-wind grows tired. It circles me wearily A few more times, lies down At my feet, and goes to sleep!
