Your dog takes off

down the street and you

have to meet someone

and you’re already late.

 

He stops for a brief

second to eat

a pile of cat poop.

 

You whisper to yourself,

“I can’t believe I let you lick my face.”

 

As you are about to grab

him

by the collar

he takes off again.

 

You have a choice

to get all mad

and frustrated

or enjoy the maddening events.

 

It’s here

and you can’t

change it,

so why fight it?

 

That’s when you need to smile at

the situation you are in

and have a story ready

for the people that you

are late to meet.

 

The truth usually works best.

 

A “My dog ran away,

chomping on cat turds

as he toyed with me”

story

gets everyone laughing

and you get off the hook

for being late.
