A woman sat down on a bench;

Her dog sat at her feet,

A rather giant canine,

But to make his look complete…

 

Around his neck his collar said,

“F**k off” in neon green.

It was a collar unlike any

I had ever seen.

 

The dog, though huge, looked gentle

So the warning didn’t seem

Like it came from him, but rather

From the human on his team.

 

The message, though, was blaring;

Even canines stayed away.

There’s nothing like a “F**k off” sign

To keep the world at bay.
