Woof Woof Bow Wow

A man sat with his poodle on the lawn at the front of his house in Washington, D. C,  He had taught the poodle to bark English and he'd learned to bark dog talk.  "Four Legs," the man said, "I don't know how you feel about it, but I'm still mad as hell about all these guns in society . . . guns killed my son."
"Oh, they've got guns now, Two Legs, that pull their own trigger?"
"Asking questions like that doesn't help our cause.  We just need an opportunity to bark against guns."  "How do you plan to do that, Two Legs?"
"I've been thinking about this, Four Legs, all the time these babies, teenagers, and adults have been getting killed month after month after month --"
"I've been wondering when you two-legged animals were gonna do something -- at least say something about that instead of always calling other people racists and depending on the people you call racists to solve your problems."

"I kept wondering when our so-called leaders who're always provoking our people to riot were gonna denounce the killings, especially in Chicago . . . I want revenge for the death of my son . . ."
"But, Two Legs, you're just one person and that's like an old stray dog that only barks when an occasional car drives by."
"Right, Four Legs . . . now, since you're smart and can bark in English you're respected by everybody.  So,this being election year for a President and one of these presidential candidates wants to be known for having taken away guns, this is the ideal time to get rid of these guns . . . this candidate will be grateful  to work with us on this . . ."
"So how're you gonna work it, Two Legs?"
"I want you to get all of your friends together and we're going to Congress and start barking -- and we're going to bark day and night until we get rid of guns . . . we're never gonna have another opportunity like this.  It's gonna be just like in the sixties again, disrupting Congress -- we might even start barking 'We shall overcome' -- my God, it gives me chills and I know some preachers and so-called leaders who'll pay us to let them bark with us."
"Do you think this comfortable sacrifice might insult the movement of the sixties?"
"Listen, Four Legs, every time we woof woof and bow wow we legitimize what we are and what we represent, so we have no alternative, woofing and bow wowing is our nature . . . woof woof bow wow . . ."
