Dog Tag

I reached to the club early in the morning
Old men and women in sports shoes were jogging

Some old men were in their funky shorts, sweat shirts
I could only see them moving their hands
"oldies,maybe they are discussing politics"

A club Dog welcomed me, he was excited
And escorted me till I settled
Down on a plastic chair

The Dog was white in colour, black ears
The body had few black spots

It had blue and green leash around its neck.
He came back and sat beside this wack
"No, we are not going for a walk"

Down he flopped onto the floor
He looked up, i could see his ears fall

The whites of his eyes were showing
A look of pure joy or utter dejection
Why this unconditional love and attention
Even when you are down and suffering pain
"lover of learning or merely an unintelligent machine"

I was listening to the chirping of the birds
Suddenly a crow tried to invade
The area occupied by my presence

The Dog stood up and opened its jaw
Gave a good gruesome stare to the crow

Poor crow almost died of a heart attack
Then flew away from the fear of being hacked
