the Mensa dog

my dog was smart.
really smart.
he knew a lot of words,
watched tv.
he knew when we
were driving to the vet,
for a shot
and would squirm
and try to hop out.
he could break out of any
kennel cage
i put him in.
he was smart. but if
you told him the second
Tuesday of next month
we were going to the beach,
he had no idea
what you were talking about.
despite his philosophical views
on cats and birds,
he had his limits.
he would chew the cover
off a book,
but he couldn't read one.
