The focus having been shifted elsewhere
The thought being rooted nowhere
The movement went everywhere
finding no lead to go anywhere
turned to a chaotic condition out over there
It being a run not for life
but out of fear great to me
that would appear insignificant to all
Wondering what would be
you sit quizzed for a while
knotting your eyebrows tight
it might be ridiculous to you
but to me terrible and frightening
it is a chase that took my life out
a barking dog comes behind me
bow-wow, bow-wow it shouts
I run head over heels
seeking refuge in a house nearby
while the residents seeing me so
have a hearty laugh at my expense
telling that he is a most harmless one
just shoo him away with a force
he would turn and get away
that works out easy for them
but to me it is a task
that takes the life out
as dogs are my proven foes
