To the average
canine brain
it causes neither
stress nor strain
to outsmart humans
once again;
it’s pretty easy,
that is plain.
I hear the humans
brag and boast
about their brain size;
it’s their most
oft-spoken claim
because it’s s’posed
to mean they’re smart
and you are toast.
But we just laugh,
my pals and me,
because we’re smart
enough to see
brain size is not
a kibble scoop;
it’s them, not us,
who bag our poop.

I’m Pete Harbeson, a writer (among other things) located near Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to writing my own content, I’ve learned to translate for my loquacious and opinionated pup Chocolate Bossypaws. No surprise, she mostly speaks in doggerel. You can find her contributions tagged with Chocolatiana.
Check out my other blog, Techlimitics, where I’m grappling with the nature of simplicity. You can also find some of my minor software projects at GitHub. Nothing very impressive. I mostly write tiny utilities in Python.
I find myself suddenly de-corporatized (their choice, not mine). To help keep the lights on, buy me a coffee!
