The neighbors' dog will not stop barking.
He is barking the same high, rhythmic barkthat he barks every time they leave the house.
They must switch him on on their way out.
The neighbors' dog will not stop barking.
I close all the windows in the houseand put on a Beethoven symphony full blastbut I can still hear him muffled under the music,barking, barking, barking, and now I can see him sitting in the orchestra,his head raised confidently as if Beethovenhad included a part for barking dog.
When the record finally ends he is still barking,sitting there in the oboe section barking,his eyes fixed on the conductor who isentreating him with his baton while the other musicians listen in respectfulsilence to the famous barking dog solo,that endless coda that first
Beethoven as an innovative genius.
