I wrote Dog in a Truck prompted by the Melissa’s Fandango Flash Fiction Challenge #377 inspired by a cool-looking dog sitting behind the driver’s seat of a car. The image is by  Rosalie Gdy. I hope you enjoy my poem and the song interpretation.

Dog in a Truck

I’m a dog sitting in a truck
you see me
and remark
wtf‽ 
is it real

I sit behind the wheel
with a logbook
and licence
okay

by the way
it’s for a dog

I’m a range rover
with a bark
in a car park

d’ya think it strange
I drive a truck
wtf‽
