I Told Him Not To




I Told Him Not To


I told him not to

Take the dog for a walk

I knew with the crack of her leash

He would go down.

He went anyway

And with the cracking of her leash

Down he went

Fracturing his hip.

  4. Oh, I fear the going down in the winter and cracking a hip. Sorry if this is more than just a poem.

  7. Oh no... but telling him "I told you... " won't help the least.

  8. I like the repetition of "cracking of her leash". There is an "I told you so" in the tone.
