Standing Guard

For just the price
of a small Milk-Bone,
My vicious Chihuahua
Stands guard at my throne.

He stands at attention,
Looking out at my domain.
I’m not sure who’s attacking,
But he will cause them pain.

Now and then,
He turns to look at me.
I appreciate the protection,
But I would prefer some privacy.

Author: Blind John Ellsworth

Blind John Ellsworth (1960- ), a (questionable) poet and sometimes Texas bluesman. He has recorded one spoken-word album (thankfully unreleased), since he is still trying to learn to play guitar. (Lack of musical skills is what makes him a poet and not a lyricist. Plus, he can’t write music.)
