Ever wonder what are your pets do when you're out of the house?

for the dogs
by s.c.virtes
---

tone deaf
banging the trash
the lids, the pots & pans
they howl, they croon,
they shake their heads
pound out the blues
they've paid their dues
then
they hear the car
coming up the driveway --
their master is home;

the dogs drop their toys
end their tune
they scatter
pretend to be sleeping
lazy best friends
eager for dinner
but their tails keep the beat
the soul, the blues.
