The Gang...
One late night as I was on my way home from the movies,
A gang of stray dogs chased me like hell, I was on my bike,
I lifted my legs up almost parallel to the ground,
They all had this look that you never want to see in a dog.
Several days later, one summer morning when I was jogged in my neighbourhood,
I saw several stray dogs with garlands around their neck,
Made from wild flowers and leaves, they were the same dogs,
I wondered who could have done this.
Each morning, I looked at them and laughed,
They enjoyed being together during the day and night,
They ruled the neighbourhood and chased people in the night,
And during the day, they roamed happily with garlands hanging around their necks.
