Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Food for Thought

I came out of my dog house and

Found all my humans at home dead.

Awful, I did not understand.

Through the neighborhood dog howls spread

That all the humans everywhere

Were dead from causes yet unknown.

Of course this comes as quite a scare

To this dog, now all on my own.

I look at my empty food bowl.

My humans, I used to count on 

For food to keep my body whole.

Now I guess that food chain is gone.

There is all that dead human meat,

Which of course those dang cats will eat.
