An Ode to a Dog

Each day when I walk in you wag your tail.

You're cute and soft and always very furry.

You always make me happy, you never fail.

When we walk you're always in a hurry.

You always like to splash in every puddle.

You then track mud on the rug with your paws.

You like to sit at home and howl and sing.

Each night by the fire, we will cuddle.

You're so sweet, you don't mind my flaws.

You will run after the ball when I fling.

You were mine when I saw you for sale.

When you get a bone then you will go bury.

You help out by bringing me the mail.

And when you hear a loud noise you will scurry.

You like to beg for scraps of food from the table.

I love your big brown amber eyes.

I can't resist such a cute face.

You like to run as much as you are able.

You roll of your back and look to the skies.

And on the couch you take up all the space.
