From a writing exercise. Starting 30 days of creating, so I will be posting stuff for the next month. Watch this space!
Like a reporter with a deadline
He barks
He barks
He... "Shut up, already!"
"Damn dog."
He howls like the devil
at midnight.
He howls like hell has
just opened up before him.
The dog sits thumping his tail,
a metronome to suburban music,
the radio plays Kid Rock,
"All summer long...."

Tied Up
The dog chases his tailLike a reporter with a deadline
He barks
He barks
He... "Shut up, already!"
"Damn dog."
He howls like the devil
at midnight.
He howls like hell has
just opened up before him.
The dog sits thumping his tail,
a metronome to suburban music,
the radio plays Kid Rock,
"All summer long...."
