I just took my dog on a walk

And he ran away from me

I think he thought that he was free

And started jaunting happily

I called his name

But all in vain

For he did not want to stop

It wasnt until

I paid the bill

That he looked back and stopped

I had to share this poem from 4 years ago. My dog’s leash slipped from my hand. Down the hill my dog ran. It really was a funny moment. I hope you enjoy! Photo by Meg Sanchez on Unsplash
