Drabble by Kevin Fagan for February 08, 2021

It knows where you sleep, Wally….

That’s right, Wally, you’re “the man!”

Careful, roomba might come back with his big brother, ROOMBA!

Wait until the batteries die down on that thing.

Technology is the bane of animals everywhere.

Like a thousand ants adrift on a log.

Lost in a sea of administrative fog.

When drifting to shore they all yelled and cheered.

Each was convinced he really had steered.

Something in there about the eye of the beholder.

That’s it Wally…scare him from your “perch”.

Wally, show it where the doggie door is.

I’d tell my dachels, as passersby they’d been barking at sauntered on to the neighbors’ section of sidewalk, “OK, you succeeded. They’re fleeing in terror.”
