Dog Day

Life as a dog seems so simple-

But is more complex than any human can understand.

I do more than wag my tail to look pretty-

I have to sit, bark, and roll over on command.

Go outside? Only when you let me,

And guess who takes the slack for your bad day,

When I want to go out walking

It always seems you would rather stay.

Drool always drips from my tongue,

My fur sheds all over the place,

Never knowing when you will be home

My only relief is to pant and pace.

So I do not want to listen to whining

About how rough life may be.

A dog's  life can be just as hard-

So instead use your energy to pet me!
