Norman loved his dog
more than a wife.
In five years
his first wife
left him for another,
and he left a nagging
second wife.
But he and his dog
remained together.
A better friend
he never had
he alway said.
So when two
teenage delinquents
shot his dog to death,
Norman took it
as personal as if
the delinquents shot
a human friend.
Norman went nuts
bought a shotgun
hunted the teens down
and shot them
both to death.
Now he sits in jail
and says he
doesn’t regret
his revengeful kills
that he did
for the love of a dog.
Bob Boyd
