Four Paws, Faux Pas? Poem by Paul C. Maybury Jr.

What is it that dogs are so worried about?
What causes their doggie anxiety?
What secrets have they that they don’t want found out?
Some fault in their canine piety?

For smiles they manage a worried grin,
Lacking fists to give things a knock,
They just scratch when they want to come back in
They’d apologize if they could talk.

Guess we can’t know what our dog friends are thinking,
Or what they’re about when they’re out.
I’d just love to know why he’s nervously blinking,
And why he’s so plagued with self doubt.
