Signs, poles and trees
all make me go ‘sheesh;’
those things can cause problems
when humans are leashed.

We go on a walk;
I’m ahead; they’re in back
but basic leash management’s
something they lack.

You’d think it was simple.
and I sure have tried,
but when there’s a post
they will pick the wrong side.

So I have to fix it
and come back around
to untangle their leash.
That’s what I have found.

You’d think that unleashing
them might be more fair,
but nope; without leashes
they’d go anywhere.

Got better ideas?
I will give them a try.
‘Til then I’ll just backtrack
and heave a big sigh.
