Nevermore
His owner spoke
Leave my boots alone
The dog paid rapt attention
For this moment
the man was boss.
But he would sleep
abandon him to work
his boots out for the picking
and as evermore
the dog would grab one for company.

ReplyDeleteI was waiting for yours because I knew as a mother of fur kids, you'd come up with a winner. And you did. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI like the take you portray. The boot as a surrogate for the man...
