The Rott

He growls, he snarls,

leaps and twists and fights.

He’s from the streets,

and that’s his nature.


He’s got a jaw that bites

with a trapping, steel force

and a strong broad build;

he’s all muscle.


Look at his ragged fire-eyes;

he’s got nothing to lose.

Pulling on the leash

with a strength unyielding.


“He’s not one for captivity,”

they think, they say.

I remind myself,

“Be patient.”
