Haiku Town Dog
Town dog’s name -- Buster
He limps on once broken leg
But runs like a pup
Story never told
How Buster’s leg was broken
Silence rule invoked
Countless times I’ve asked
But no one wants to tell me
How this came about
No one wants to talk
About Buster’s tragedy
They hide truth from me
Someone will talk soon
Of this there is certainty
Truth exists somewhere
The tomcat is mute
Ne’er spoke a word about it
I feel he is key
Friends they used to be
And friends they are till this day
Friends don’t rat on friends.
