Walk-N-Ride

I am giving
Carol and Rosy
A ride to the
Dog park,
Safer for all
Concerned
If I drive.
Rosy wants
To jump into
The front seat
Despite my
Attempts to
Prevent her
But I have learned
To loop Rosy’s
Leash to keep
Her steady and
In the back seat.
The sun is hot
The breeze is cool,
I sit in my car the
Windows down
Waiting for Rosy
To bring Carol back.
The Encinitas area
Seems to have no
Long pants only shorts,
Relaxed or informal
But friendly to me.
I maintain this dog park
Is evidence that dogs
Walk people and use
Them as personnel
Servants to provide
Food and amusements.
Perhaps dogs find humans
A symbiotic species flawed
Only by a tolerance of cats,
I don’t see any cat parks.
As I used my walker and
One leg to walk halfway
To the dog park a soccer
Ball rolled to me allowing
Me to swing supported by
My hands and tap it back
To the applause of the
Players on the field.
Nice folks here,
A doggies’
Treat
And
Perhaps
The cats are
Really in charge
And are too proud
For a cat park when cats
Already go where they please.
