ON QUIET PAWS

(An Encounter)

On quiet paws it crept around the corner,

Seeing this big guy walking along…

Freezing up thinking it might need a coroner

It heard the man speak in gentle sing-song.

–

Wasn’t really sure if twas friend or foe

As the man skirted around wide…

Its black and white fur poised to quickly go,

This man made his way and cooed “goodbye”.
