I Didn't Have To Deal With That by Charles J Hannan Can you see the limping dog Who has no home Still wandering Will you look at smoking trees And see the trunk Still smoldering Open ears do hear the cries Of politicians golden lies Blaming one for dodging war Did you earn the medals worn? My television is off now And silent night approaches I hear a faint yelping A dog who has no home I shut my window closed From odor of burning trees Crawl into bed and forget The forest was on fire Close my eyes and think What a wonderful place this is I didn't have to deal with that America the beautiful 08/21/2004 Posted on 08/21/2004 Copyright © 2024 Charles J Hannan Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 08/24/04 at 12:35 AM Witty expression, leaving me with a big smile.
