man's best friend?

on walking the dog

It might be my dog
or it might be me,
but all of a sudden,
men are
smiling at me,

Maybe they like
the swing of his tail,
and the look on his face
as he runs beside me
picking up the pace -

One hangs his head
out the window,
another turns around,
is there dirt I didn't know
on my chest I hadn't found?

One thing for sure
I don't have to endure
an unwelcome comment
or an ugly leer --
a woof from the dog,
and the creeps disappear!

it ain't too serious, just a funny.

hahaha, see dogs are more than man's best friend, they can also be a woman's security and comfort… that ending was hilarious and not what I expected.

It's my favourite thing to do, a happy surprise ending.:)

I'll have to remember to carry some dog treats around with me when I go out for a walk. This was fun to read today KLGoode.
