A Sad Man and His Dog
I see him every day with his companion by his side
Even if he’d rather stay in the house to hide
With his head pointing down toward the ground
And a saddened frown
Holding the attached leash his connection to his friend
And the endless hours together that they spend
Your dog always listens no matter what is said
He’ll sleep beside you affectionately inside your bed
Dogs don’t care if you forgot your deodorant and might smell
Or the changeable moods you may expel
He’ll gladly stand by your side so proud
And yiper ever so long so loud
Dogs never make you feel bad for a mistake
They’ll kiss you every morning till you wake
So who can blame him if he doesn’t care to smile
Because when he’s walking his dog inside his heart life becomes worthwhile
