When is a leg not a leg?

When it is a stick. I was sawing leg blanks today and one of them fell off my workbench. My dog grabbed it and ran off - she thought it was a game. So I chased her around the yard and eventually she dropped it. Work and dogs make for a wonderful life.

When I work the world goes away;
Then it returns with a vengeance.

Then he plunged back into the fray.

The dog has a sense of humor.

Excellent poem, ricpic, but we expect nothing less from our poet laureate here.

And you are correct, AllenS - she is a very funny dog - no doubt she laughs to herself watching me chase her around the yard, stopping, dropping the stick, and as soon as I am close enough to reach it, picking it up again and running off. Funny dog.

Ed, if you mean dogs, you might be on to something. If you mean furniture legs, well...

Smart dogs do have a sense of humor. Well..except for German Shepherds.
