The "Look"
It really is something to behold and be privy to;
this thing that's called, "the Look".
Have you ever in your life seen a feline,
who's totally lost all composure
from maybe sliding on a slippery floor,
head first into a wall, or an open refrigerator door;
or when they forget where they're laying
or how high up their nap might've taken them,
and the said feline forgets, and stretches;
sending it into a gravitational pull
that would startle the wits out of Newton!
And what happens, next?
They invariably will land on all fours,
and then commence to give you the "look".
You know the one that says, "I meant to do that!"
Dogs have never been known to have, the "look".
They simply don't have it in them,
and therefore, just can't pull it off.
Some people do have it, however.
Surely, they must have to work on it, though.
You know, to hone it, get it right, and pass it off as believable.
As far as I can recollect,
no one in the history of my family
has ever had the talent of, the "look".
Until I came along.
Because think about it, I've just finished writing
this whole page of dribble,
about a "look" that an animal may or may not have.
And quite frankly, will "look" any of you dead in the eye,
and tell you with my polished "look", "that I meant to do that!"
