When Sir Socks Meets a Chihuahua

poem from Honoring the Cats in My Life

Sir Socks doesn’t
like dogs.
It might be okay
if they’re nice to him,
but he still wouldn’t
want to have much to do with them.
Still, there are those
Chihuahuas.
Those little dogs
who, when they bark,
jump backwards.
All bark and no bite.
If Sir Socks were to
met one,
I’m sure he’ll think
“You’re a dog?”
If the dog were
to annoy Sir Socks,
he would raise
his right forepaw
and smack the little dog.
