Analysis of K-9
Glenn L Maluchnik 1962 (New York)
Dogs bark at night.
As the full moon makes it a shivering sight.
Howe-ling dogs.
As the sky is full of stars.
Only a few cars drive by.
As people are a sleep in a warm bed at home.
Thoughts race thru a sick mans head.
Thinking the dogs are really werewolves.
Have they fed on my son?
His brother calms him down.
Telling him his son is in bed sleeping.
Dogs bark and howl .
A night to stay inside.
As wandering people.
Raise the dogs protectiveness.
Watch dogs on patrol.
