Bark Bark Roof Roof
by Jim Nasium

Walking downtown with my spouse the other day
a man called out to us "hey, what'a ya say
how would you like to hear my dog talk"
I said "no thanks we're going for a walk"

The man and dog were standing in the street
when the man asked his dog if he wanted a treat
the dog barked back and it sounded like yes
I was really surprised I must confess

I walked over to them and to my surprise
the dog had the biggest sad puppy dog eyes
I asked the man what he called his pet
he told me the dogs name, but now I forget

Then the man asked the dog what's that on the house
the dog barked "ROOF ROOF", then looked at my spouse
when asked what's that on the trunk of a tree
the dog went "BARK BARK" then looked over at me

Very slowly I followed the dogs big sad eyes
to a hat with money in it that came as a surprise
I put in two bucks and then walked away
but got a surprise when I heard the dog say

"You cheap nasty human what did you just do
my performance was only worth two bucks to you
get your ass back here and give me more money"
the dog smiled at his owner, who thought the whole thing funny...

I like this because I like rhyme and I also like a story with a surprise at the end. Thanks for posting. Joyce

Dear Jim: Now I know why I see so many dogs with homeless people! I just didn't know they could talk!
