Ask Your Dog 'What Time Is It'? Poem by David Whalen

If you could ask a dog
“What time is it? ”…
You most likely
Would just hear a howl

A bark, a snuffle
A snort or a sniff
A whimper, a whine
Or a growl

But that’s not what I hear
And that’s not his reply
When I ask my dog
“What does the clock say? ”

I know by the look
That I see In his eye
That the answer is
“It’s time to play! ”

So if your dog could just talk
And If you just knew how…
to listen …to him, His answer to you
would be “It’s time to play, Right now! ! ! ”
