A Fur Stole

A fur Stole 

The big dog that was run down on the main road,
five month ago and thrown into the grass verge, is 
still there only now it looks like a dusty stole flung 
out of a passing Rolls Royce… I wonder if its owner, 
if it had any, is still looking for it? When my Bambi 
died I didn’t cry, not the first day, but on the second 
day when the pain of her absence became too much 
to bear. She won our battles of will, but one, insisted
she had to have a bath fortnightly.  We grew old and 
grouchy together. And now she is a sweet memory
