The Wise Dog

The wise dog
Of Findon digs in for
A fight over the
Bones of Christmas past…
The dream is still alive!

He learnt how
To catch the flying fox
By the wing
Who says you can’t teach an
Old dog some new tricks?

Dreaming of
Burying his bones on the moon
One summer night…
The naked ambition of the
Wise dog revealed

The wise dog has earned those bones don't you think? Time to bury the bones, whether on the moon or as far away as possible. Wise dog indeed.

Yes, indeed. He's got the bone, Technobabe. Thank you for your penetrating comment. :)

Ah, the special "tidbits" for safe-keeping, I like the sound of that, honeysuckle56. But one must not forget to retrieve the treasure so diligently buried. Thank you for your thoughtful comments.
