Into The Woods / Poetry

I follow my dog
deep into the woods
Half happy, half scared
that he’ll jump 
on someone with white 
trousers
He did once, he did
and the gentleman said:
‘It’s ok’
when he clearly 
didn’t think it was
I follow my dog
deep into the woods
Half happy, half scared
that he’ll bark
at tiny chihuahuas
He did once, he did
and the lady said
‘It’s ok’
when she clearly 
didn’t think it was
I follow my dog
Deep into the woods
Half happy, half scared
that he’ll sniff out 
someone
who wants to talk
He does that, every time
I say,
‘It’s ok’
When I clearly 
don’t think it is
