More Stowaways
The dog’s been loaded into the back
Attentive eared he awaits his walk
Packed in are boots and sticks
and mac
Beseeching eyes have mine besought
I’m ready to leave, but my mind is abstracted
When gradually I become distracted
By an unusual sound demanding
attention
While my hand is hovering on the
ignition
The car is not running so it can’t be
the engine
It’s a sort of sotto vocce whirring
Its lucky I haven’t started the car
And better still have not gone far
The boot of the car is contentedly
purring
Its passengers are most bizarre
Around the dog’s legs his cat is
curling
I've heard of a "purring engine" and a " Tiger in the tank " but this puts them all in one ! Lovely photo at the end - the dog evidently expects his stowaway to go with him . .
