insipid vantage collar spit captivity adrenalin
shield mercury colossus scratch evaporate
Nowhere insipid with lots of initiative
he plodded on. From a vantage position
he observed relentlessly very positive
He spit out his feelings and opinions
He was collared and put in his place when
it was apparent he invoked his aggressive
nature. Could be a
nuisance among friends
Captivity made him to be overly sensitive
Adrenalin rising it gave him courage to act
Readily shielded those who tried to be wise
Barked out orders and when annoyed lacked
temperament and his mercury could rise
He saw his problem as a colossus of anger
He could scratch and shove on others just
as an animal that went berserk and a danger
to society. But anger evaporated equally fast
He was civil again the next minute back to
himself. A job to do and when not at play
aimed at doing it well. Had responsibilities too
How else could a guide dog be better anyway?
