Blind Backwards Falling Dog

The dog slid backwards down the long straight set of stairs
Bouncing like a bobble head
Her milky unseeing eyes wide open in distress

The fat man pursued her
Getting within a foot or two of her as she would slow slightly
Then having to awkwardly run downwards again as the dog picked up speed

Nobody knew what the fat man would do if he actually caught up to her
As there was no way that he could have picked her up or checked her slide
In order to do so
He would have had to bend over to reach her
At her location at least eight inches below the soles of his feet

An act that would have required much grace for a thin and flexible person
Let alone this lumbering fat man
Who still ran half bent over
His buttcrack flying at full mast
In his vain attempt to grab the little blind crippled dog
As she slid ever downwards to the basement

Someone laughed
Because the situation was so comical
Someone stood in disapproval
Because such things were just not funny

The dog finally arrived at the bottom of the stairs
Whoofing onto the smooth basement tile floor
Sliding an extra foot before stopping
Her pink wrapped crippled front legs straight out from her body

The fat man reached her
Almost losing his pants as he picked her up finally
Retrieving her from the depths of the kitty litter smelling basement
Back up the stairs
To the warmth and the light that the little dog couldn't hardly see

Set back down
The little blind crippled dog continued on her way to the water dish
As if nothing at all had happened
