Ah, Dog!  Man’s best friend.

He’s always there at each day’s end.

He has no problem with loyalty.

No matter what, he comes to me.

He can be smart and learn to know

Some words mean stop and some mean go.

He can learn to sit and stay,

To heel, sit-up and beg away.

It matters not if I play the fool

Pretending to own the world’s best jewel.

Looking through my dog’s two eyes,

I’m a man of gigantic size.

My boss has yelled; my bankbook’s dead;

My girlfriend’s left; I’m seeing red.

I come home looking for relief,

And give the dog a case of grief.
