Written for my mate Dave Elsom's birthday - hope you like it!
This may have happened...
The Dog in the Hi-Viz
The small dog gaily trips along
He wears a tiny Hi-Viz coat
on a daily perambulation where
paths are marked and learned by rote
His Hi-Viz marks him out as special
It makes him bigger than he is
"You can't stop there!", "You can't do that!"
Authority is quite rightly his
He stops for a tiny but perfect poo
Stares at it with admiring eyes
that look accusingly at the man
"Clean it up!" the glance implies
The owner bends with plastic bag
as the officious canine checks his work
The stool is scooped, he seems content
that his so-called master didn't shirk
The lamppost is examined too
Sniff of wet and sensitive nose
Then delicately cocks his leg
in a confident yet careful pose
The world is safer than it was before
the tiny pooch checked out his route
wearing his tiny Hi-Viz vest;
Job done - and he looked so very cute
