Dogs barking,
And barking and barking,
Late at night,
Our dogs.

Why don’t we bring them in,
Making all that noise?
Well, creepy people checking cars to see if they’re locked,
Walking around on private property.

So far, no complaints.
But if there are, we’ll keep the noisemakers inside.
Until then, they get to bark.

But we might ask the complainers,
You wouldn’t be the folks setting off those fireworks,
The ones that scare our dogs,
Keeping them inside for awhile, hiding under the bed?
