(“Loyalty Merit Badge”, 2010, original oil) A Simple Solution The world is full of woe Always has, and always will So it’s incumbent on us To find a way through. A simple solution is to find a dog Dogs generally give far more than they take And as such are a source of solace As well as a good example to follow. Specifically find a pug They were made for laps and pleasant walks For endless hours of gentle napping And years of bottomless giving. The world is full of woe It always has, and always will But that doesn’t mean we can’t find a moat To keep the woe at bay. And that moat requires a team Designed to not only survive, but thrive Family and friends, And at least a loyal canine or two. (4/4/25)
