Old Hound Haiku
Dirt road pick-up truck
Old hound mutt riding shotgun
through the countryside
Windows down, nose out
Muzzlecheeks flapping in breeze
Living his best life
He was abandoned
Rescued from the county dump
Taken in and fed
A recycled life –
Dewormed, flea dipped, unticked and
proudly named Buckshot
He feels his worth now
Chases critters, patrols home,
Eats the table scraps
All he needed was
someone to care about him
Oh, the difference!
