Only Dogs Get Mad by Autumn Wurstle

Only Dogs Get Mad

by Autumn Wurstle

"Only dogs get mad,"

my mother says.

And I am not a dog

but I am mad mad mad

I want to grab your shoe

and bite it.

Chewing,

till my teeth meet

through the soft black leather.

But "only dogs get mad"

and I am not a dog.

So-I have decided not to talk to you anymore

and thus save you

the expense

of buying new shoes.
