The Seeing-eye Dog
Early one morning...
I'm sitting with my buddy at a window table at our local coffee
shop.
The large window, for me, acts for me as a theatric stage...
with the many passing people making their entrances and exits.
My buddy is partially blind and on occassion I read out loud...
the interesting newspaper articles to him.
The majority of the
time I'm putting pen to paper.
Outside the entrance door...
obediently waiting, sits my friend's seeing-eye dog, Barnie.
Barnie,
takes pats from the occasional passer by.
Sometimes
someone will untie and atempt to steal him.
When
an ambulance speeds on by, sirens a blaring,
Barnie begins to howl!
Upon being approached
by a female
dog, he
likes to sniff and sniff.
Non-discrimanating he is too,
a real ladies dog.
If I were to
conduct myself like Barnie, I'd be in big trouble.
By just sitting in
a coffee shop we
can sure learn a lot about life.
