the stray dogs


The brown bitch dog under the umbrella
She sits there the whole day looking at the road
Rain or shine she seems to stay
Maybe looking after the plot of small garden

Many of her puppies had gone
Somebody had taken them away
Now there is a puppy sleeping
Cuddling up under the fence

The days gone by quickly
The events of her life unfolded
Once she had so many puppies
Now there is one left with her

One day the puppy too will go
Leaving her alone watching the road
Rain or shine she will be there
Under the umbrella

There are too many stray dogs
Once there was none along the road
Some ungrateful owners threw away their pets
Let them roam the streets to be strays
