the small dog

The small dog leashed to the pole

For the bad it had done to the neighborhood

Poo here; poo there and made every one angry

Now it couldn't gossip as it wished...........

The canine buddies couldn't come near

The small dog wailed loudly for all to hear

Within its own corner it knew it was hopeless

Tied to the pole barking loudly nobody cared

The walkers passed by ignoring its call

The children came only staring at the small dog

It tried to wag its tail to be friendly........

Nay....the children knew let it be alone

The circulation of its own prints

It was washed away when it rained

Leaving the small dog all alone by the pole

Barking pitifully nobody came to talk
