When The Dog Barks

When the dog barks Don’t crack, I remark Watch your back Maybe it is about to attack A dog is commonly your loyal slave But your master when it is brave It can be your best friend It can be your worst enemy When the dog barks Get ready on your mark It senses you in the dark When the dog barks And you don’t talk back It will sense the courage you lack When the dog barks You may need to give it a whack To set it on the right track Before it embarks On a mission with its mates in a pack When the dog bites You must put up a fight When the dog bites Think hard, do what is right When the dog whines Even you should know it’s not fine Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi
