Walk talk

When I go on a walk,
here’s the stuff I don’t like:
No cars, no trucks,
no squirrels, no bikes.

Well, a squirrel or two,
that’s not so darn hard;
at least on a walk
they’re not in my yard.

I love all the sniffs
if we walk in the woods,
where the sniffing is always
especially good.

My humans bring water
if I want a drink
which I tell them about
’cause we know they can’t think.

I like two kinds of walks:
there’s my regular routes
which I travel most days
when I hear “let’s go out.”

My favorite other
(that’s walk number two)
is a walk in a place
that to me is brand-new.

That’s when I can check
all the things that I sniff,
and you know what I find?
Things just ain’t all that diff.

About Me

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!
