Nice poem! 

One of your dog men at least said sorry. At Hog hole the other day, ignoring 
all the signs that say dogs-on-leash-only, a man unleashed his oversized filthy 
dog, and it rushed at and jumped at my wife, who was quite scared, as she tried 
to defend herself and fend it off. The man did not say one word of apology, 
evidently could not care less. I wanted to bash his head in, or that of his 
dog, but did neither. The stupid dogs aren't guilty of course, it's the dogs' 
masters. There is something profoundly unseemly and deeply intolerant in how 
these people wield their dog slaves to insult and impose on others, both on 
other people, and on wildlife.

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Of Unleashed Dogs and Waterthrushes

Despite the drenching rain today, I did my daily jog.
Around the trails of six-mile creek I passed two groups with dogs.
The first dog came a-leapin' at my thigh, against my wish.
The owners said their sorries as they feigned to tend its leash.

The second dog, also unleashed, was sniffing as it roamed,
an area where a Waterthrush had surveyed for a home.
Meanwhile from way up in the tree the Waterthrush did sing,
O'er heavy rain and rushing creek the melody did ring.
The song seemed more insistent, although I can't be sure,
As if announcing to the world, "hey dog, get outta here!"
Both dog and man soon left the scene, no harm it seems inflicted.
As spring rolls on I hope to see if nesting was affected.
