The Dog Listens---A Poem by O.L. Buzzerd
I discuss things with my dog
as we sit on the front porch
watching the vultures
makin lazy circles n the sky
the dog listens quietly
answers back with his eyes
he understands every word I say
and always goes along
the dog is always agreeable
knows me inside and out and
he don't complain about nuthin
I get a lot more out of him
than I did talkin to my ex wife
she used a lot more words
but didn't make any more sense
sometimes silence
means more than words.
-O.L. Buzzerd
* Buzzerd's wife left him but she also left the dog.
O.L. says it's the best thing she ever did.
