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
