Dog's Life

Looking out the window...

The world seems lively.

A mutt sleeping unaware, 

Another frolicking in the mud. 

Kids! Running around laughing; playing with a ball. 

Oh! Where is my toy? 

I chewed it off, didn't I? 

The green shrubs - beckon me; to sniff and pee 

Why? I love that scraggy little doggie there, 

wagging his rope like tail. 

He likes playing with me. 

But I am not fair, am I?

I pounce, I push; unaware of 

My build and weight.

But that jolly good fella

Waits for me to come by

To play, to jump, to sniff, 

Each day. 

Now as I watch from the comfort of my cozy home, 

I know I want to be out there...

Jumping and running and getting dirty....

That's dog's life! Sigh!!
