Holes In Doors
My owner left me
Locked up in the courtyard
Nothing unusual about that
He left me some biscuit treats
And a full bowl of water
However, he forgot
To close the wire security screen
Well, best I break in
And protect our kennel
“What would you have done?”
I started clawing and chewing
At the exposed wood door
Firstly, I dug a small hole
An opening I could bite
My industrious teeth into
Whoops and drats!
There was another layer
On the inside too!
I wasn’t sure why
My boss told me off
When he arrived home
I thought I was only trying to help
He didn’t appreciate my creativity
Time passed and Christmas arrived
My extended family
Were joking and laughing
At my aunt’s gift for Dad
Woof, woof. “A Doggie Door for me!”
