We met along the trail.
I was walking the chocolate lab.
He was heading out for a jog.
Without the dog, we would have
said hi and that would have been that.
He stopped to pet the dog.
“I’ve got two brown labs at home.”
“This guy is our fourth.”
“He’s beautiful.”
“You can’t do better than sweet chocolate.”
“Have a great jog.”
“Thanks. It was nice meeting you.
Bye you beautiful boy.”
And so it goes — a variation on a theme.
In the cause of world peace, everyone should
adopt a chocolate lab and go for a walk.
