The Dog on the Toilet

Civilized,

I guess that’s what you are,

Crouching so still and so peaceful,

Staring at me so normally,

As if it was a common thing to do.

I’m happy you do it whole heartedly,

Though sometimes it’s a bit strange.

The way you wait,

Till everything’s done

And just simply bound away.

By watching us,

I presume you just thought

That you should be doing it too.

I guess I am taught

Evolution’s about

How things are interpreted wrongly.
