Doggy doggo pooch
Observe chase pursue
Goad shadow-escort

Groaning rain
Mumuring sky
Mumbling cloud
Raging thunder
Broken - straight - loud
Sullied roofs
Filthy earth
Preempt bathing
Fragile feet seeking haven
What about indigents
Tilling holes like ants
Whistling kettles - inane cups
Painting their bellies brown in tea
Scared snails remain doggo
Beneath their shells - until the land is wet
The rain will never know
The earth is thirsty
Just give birth to your lines

Doggo sleeps and Doggo jumps,
on the floor his tail will thump,
Doggo barks and Doggo whines,
Doggo wants treats all the time,
Doggo digs in the backyard,
yelps at all the passing cars,
Doggo sits under the stairs,
I guess he feel safe in there.
Doggo sheds and Doggo pants,
pick up the leash and he will dance,
Doggo likes to take long walks,
and chase after birds that squawk.
Doggo likes a tummy rub,
but Doggo won’t get in the tub,
Doggo likes to ride in cars,
when I’m gone, Doggo stands guard.
Doggo helps me pick up chicks,
but careful, his tail’s like a whip,
Doggo does not like thunderstorms,
or summer when it gets too warm,
But Doggo really likes the snow,
I throw snowballs, away he goes.
Doggo sometimes flips in the air,
if I toss a frisbee up there,
Doggo is fond of playing fetch,
he won’t return, but he can catch.
Doggo has a designer bed,
I spoil him, people have said,
Doggo howls with the notes
put up by the local coyotes,
Doggo is afraid of cats,
he’s ten times larger! Funny that.
Doggo doesn’t play the games
thought up by big human brains,
Doggo just shows loyalty,
I wish he lived as long as me…

I’m a trapper! How are you?
I’m a trapper, too.
Then there’s a tragedy of us!
Heh, heh!
Aren’t you too close… your loophole…
DON’T SHOUT!
You know, the tiger is staring at us!
FREEZE!
Take a look!
Let’s look through a crack.
There’s a gang of buffallo murmuring a prayer.
Look at that brook
The tiger is trying to…
Then?
What a good opportunity …
For us, isn’t it?
Hmm… How about your loophole?
Of course ! I will stand up
And prod the tiger in the back to get its attention…
Then you…
Please lie doggo
Until I come back! Trust me!
FREEZE!
DON’T TURN YOUR HEAD!
HANDS UP! GUNS DOWN!
Thank you so much!
Don’t you remember, I’m a trapper too.
