I was training my dog
While in town yesterday;
I was trying to teach him
The meaning of stay.

I parked at a store
In my new SUV;
Then my dog in training
Tried to go in with me.

I wouldn’t be long
And the weather was cool,
But I knew my dog thought
I was just being cruel.

I turned and I pointed
As I walked towards the store,
And repeatedly said, “STAY,”
As I’d taught him before.

You couldn’t see Fido;
All my windows were dark.
A passer-by commented
“I just put mine in PARK?”
