We Are Dogs

Five dogs were sitting together And their friendship no man could not sever, They never shared the same father or mother Though they knew each other as a true brother. There sat a Shiba and a Pug and a Shitzu Sitting there was their breed and pride too, There also sat a German Shepherd an American Beagle They were brown, black, white, tan and all looking regal. Occasionally they would chase a cat or a bird They never understood the same commands or word, Different foods and people they did enjoy And they all had their own special person and toy. There they all sat in a neighbor's yard They were each others friend and protector and guard, All being different colors and sizes and breeds And they were all known by their distinctive deeds. We are dogs they all barked Then their beloved territory they all then marked, We are canines in our blood and brain it is rooted Then they all growled, "racism is stupid". Randy L. McClave
