night census

Somebody barked

Somebody bark back 
We'll have a lil' shout-yelp 
holler chit chat, and
everyone in earshot 
gotta chime in!

We can't see each other
from the yards we're in, and
we've got to find out

how many dogs we are.

One, to keep making sure
we're all still here, or
if anyone new comes on,
we must know!

Bring them up to speed
on how barking goes.  

Two,
in case the revolution
comes, 

I suppose.
Or propose - either way
we had best prepare 

vigilance is the way 
all good dogs know.
