A Knock At The Door



A Knock at the Door

Not one to mind being alone
I have my two dogs
And my trusty cell phone

I’ve cleaned up the dishes
And put them away
Now a snack that’s not so nutritious

Just me and my dogs
Enjoying the night
And the melodious sound of bullfrogs

What was that strange sound
Not one I’ve heard here before
What could it be

Just a knock at the door
