Tethered to two, toothy, long tailed tuggers
Their passion pulls us along promptly
Hoping to hastily head off, heedless of our “Haw!”
To quickly chasten a curiously contentious cat
As we leg it behind the long limbed Labradors
Looking at the loveliness lining the lane
Oaks overhanging, offering acorns to us
Ashes aspiring to achieve altitude
Scrub scavenging remaining sunlight, seeking sustenance
We weary from our walk
Slowing steps, seeking solitude in self
Speaking of what seeps from our souls
Our softness, our sanctity of simplicity
Not to be for long!
Our fierce, four legged, flea bitten, fang bearing flesh eaters are off
Hastening towards a huddling herbivore hiding in the hedge
These canine carnivores! To chase is their concern.
Wildly wending their way after that wascally wabbit.
Tally Ho! ©
