Analysis of First He looked confused
Sant Tukaram 1598 (Dehu, Pune Maharashtra) – 1649 (Dehu)
I could not lie anymore so I started to call my dog 'God.'
First he looked
confused,
then he started smiling, then he even
danced.
I kept at it: now he doesn't even
bite.
I am wondering if this
might work on
people?
