Neighborhood Watch
"YAP, YAP, YAP, YAP, YAP!"
Our neighbor's dog
is a noisy, little ball of white fluff.
He bounces along
the length of the chain link fence
around his yard,
as if tossed by the wind.
"YAP, YAP, YAP, YAP, YAP!"
He barks at all passersby:
whether cars, kids, squirrels,
other dogs, or butterflies.
His owner calls him Atticus.
We call him, That Yappycuss.
Like his namesake,
he takes seriously his job to defend.
"YAP, YAP, YAP, YAP, YAP!"
