Chatting with a neighbor –
learned his entertainment
was overhearing me talk
to Knox on our daily walks.
Said it reminded him of
the way his wife talks to him,
especially when he strays
from the path she thinks
he should walk. I said
I hoped he and Knox were grateful
for our thoughtful guidance.
He and Knox looked at each other.
I swear they winked.

The ending made me laugh. There’s an old movie from probably the 40s or 50s where a mother gives her daughter a dog training guide upon getting married so she can train her new husband. Your poem reminded me of that movie. 🙂
