how do heads dialog or keep balance?

"...a bossy statement, and diplomatic skills..."

how do heads dialog or keep balance?

it’s just a crazy comparison,
better still, a bit of a lesson

do you humbly reckon they couldn’t be gladder
as they empty their bloated and bigoted bladder?
oh, antics and gymnastics of scent-marking one’s zone—
and a bossy statement, and diplomatic skills, they hone!

imagine, lifting your lousy leg to get your message across?
well, it’s about competitive four-legged mutts, don’t be cross,
you see, some male pooches have the decency to study and squat to pee!
oh, hefty hounds happily executing a desired fleshly function at a tearful tree,
at times, it goes beyond a bodily onus, it’s competitive, communicative and territorial,
lift legs, the higher up the urine hikes, the more visible the note, goes the tedious tutorial!
