Sense Sonnet - Acher

 No Hunting

The old man and the old dog sit,

Giving each other a sad stare.

Should be hunting, but truth of it,

The old man's broken arm needs care.

The doc did put it in a cast,

And said the old man needed rest.

Healing takes longer than in past.

The old man knows the doc knows best.

The old man talks with the old dog

Of how hunting will have to wait.

It is a somber dialog.

No hunting is a woeful fate.

The old man and the old dog stay

At home with no hunting today.
