a little night mystery



middle of the night
the window was open
two lots north the little white dog barked
nothing  unusual about that
i know the voice

the clock said three
when seconds later, - to the south
and one house west
it was the old dog with the muffled voice
who sounds like he barks into an oatmeal box.

it didn’t end there.
as then, in our backyard pond, the main frog
who had been quiet for several hours
suddenly took up the call.
i never knew what got them going.
