the black dog roamed


black guard dog





The black dog roamed
In the day; in the night
Strolling round the houses
Sniffing for his trade marks

You know how dogs do
Urinating along poles or concrete walls
The post to find the way home
The post to do the business of nature

The dog owner stayed away
On the side road telling his stories
The black dog roamed
Doing his business on the road

The side roads and back lanes
The worst hit areas for the dogs
The poo of many no owner dared to own up
Scooped the poo of the pet dogs

The unlucky ones stepped on it
Cursing the time the smell of poo
The pet owners never came.......
The time of expletives spoken in anger

The black dog roamed
Sniffing around to lay his territory
Sometimes urinating on car wheels
And the smell of the wind.......
