the bad dogs



The 3 gangster dogs
The walk on the street
The proud dogs for all to see
The menacing eyes to stare

Once these dogs see a cat
They give chase corner their prey
The cat at the centre of the circle
The heart beats racing in high gear

The 3 dogs wagging tails
Heads bend low trying to attack
The poor cat bolts away
Running into the house

The cat hides under a red chair
Feeling safe from the menacing dogs
The dogs stare for a while
They walk away wagging tails

As the gangster dogs pass
The other dogs in the homes will bark
Maybe these dogs salute the gangster dogs
Or ask them to leave their turf

The cat takes off
When the field is empty of the dogs
The silence of the barking
The normal routine begins for the day
