What do the dogs think
When they see tractor trailers
On busy highways?
What do the dogs think
When you close food containers
When you’re done eating?
Do dogs think that these
Things are unnecessary
And wastes of effort?
What do the dogs think
When they are in moving cars
Driving down the street?
What do the dogs think
About the large swimming pools
Where they wet their feet?
Do they contemplate
Life’s great mysteries, like:
When will we get home?
Will i get a treat?
Why’s my mistress need those things
To cover her feet?
Why is the sky blue
When i am playing outdoors?
Why do my feet slide
On the hardwood floors
Inside my mistress’s home
And where is the cat?
However my dog,
Thinking my arm’s a pillow
Has fallen asleep.
