A Dog's Wish
How I wish my owner wouldn’t kick me,
it’s not my fault I have to pee.
He only takes me out once a day,
otherwise in a dark room is where I stay.
He often forgets to set out food,
especially when he’s in a bad mood.
He seldom pats me on the head,
or lets me sleep in his bed.
To run and play would be great,
or at least have a mate.
Just to sniff a few trees,
and get over my plague of fleas.
I used to enjoy a special treat,
as well as walks down the street.
I admit life isn’t what it used to be,
I just wish my owner would take care of me.
