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‽
