Ask The Dog

Ask the dog what he thinks
Of running, panting, chasing
His tail, day and night.
Ask what he thinks
Of bones, cats, you, me.
He’ll never tell.
He may cock his head
Or bark, maybe growl.
When you say “speak”
He will, but only because
You trained him to do so.
The truth is he doesn’t think,
He just does, like you, like me,
Like we, too, are trained to do.
