Dog in the Window
There’s a dog in a window,
In a house near me,
Looking as cool
as cool can be,
Is there a dog in a window,
In a house near you,
Why do dogs sit in windows,
and what do they do?
Are they being very serious
and looking for thieves,
Are they dreaming of dinner,
potatoes and peas,
Are they working out answers
to deep mysteries,
Are they making up lists
for new recipes.
It might be more comfortable
than all of the chairs,
In the house where they live
or the flats that they share,
Dogs are very clever,
without any doubt,
They don’t do things,
if they can’t work it out,
But in the case of windows,
They really don’t care,
Why do dogs sit in windows…?
They just like it there!

ABOUT THE POET ~
Alexander E. Musset, Writer of humorous children's poems and stories., Based in Willesden Green, London, Alexander E. Musset writes short humorous poems, and long rhyming stories with a distinct Dr Seuss feel., His work is at the same time funny, witty, intelligent, or just plain ridiculous. Sometimes there is a lesson to be learnt or a question to be answered. “I like to tickle my young reader’s brain cells”, he says., His first book is ‘The Official Book of Wiggle Waggles’ a volume of over one hundred humorous poems to be enjoyed by both the young and the old., There is the trilogy of ‘Long Haired Lucy’ the town’s Golden Girl. She is so good it would make your toes curl, But is she quite as good as she seems…..?, Others include a multi-character series based on a two dimensional creature that defies classification - A book of modern cautionary tales – A volume of whimsical poems for children focused on animals and nature. He also ventures into some rather off-beat and weird ‘Scary’ poems in his ‘Book of The Secret Mind.’, He is refreshingly original despite having a slightly old-fashioned twinge as he engages his audience in the first person.
