Almost… doesn’t come close

I heard a commercial the other day
that talked about how several people
almost gave a man this or that…

What is a stranger but an Unmet Friend…

Just as I opened the door to
the machine shop, the sounds -
very LOUD sounds – of barking
dogs meet my ears, and
for a moment I wonder:
Will I be a customer today… or lunch ?!
The four legged carnivores met me first,
tripping over themselves trying to see
