What To Do If a Dog Bites

I was running from the man Or the cops if you please I hopped over a fence Landed funny, scraped my knee Looked around and saw a shack Hoped for comfort and ease Like a hooker in church Sweating on her knees Peered into that shack What a shock and surprise Head like Mount Rushmore We were lookin eye to eye Started running for my life Jesse Owens be proud Dog snapping on my leg Not a bark ,not a sound Almost made it to the fence With his teeth on my ass Like a student in school Was hoping for a pass Had my back to the fence Was looking for a stick That dog drew first blood Stream of red like Moby Dick The end of the story Had been lookin for fun Searching for my phone Called K911

This is very well written. Thanks for the re-lived memory of an encounter I had with a St. Bernard. Climbing back in through the window, was far more difficult then the climb out. I ended up SO GROUNDED! Great piece of writing. Thanks for sharing.

Have to chuckle at this. We may share a past if you write from experience. Or share common friends if from observation. Either way, great piece. - Chuck
