Bailey the Whining Basset Hound

A dog named Bailey
Is a basset hound
She would eat all day
If it could be done

She always wants food
Her stomach is never full
At night when tired 
Her bed is made up

In the laundry room
a gate to block the door
the whines to what seems
Like hours on end

Whines so loudly
That seems like hours
Only ten minutes
Until it all ends

She is sick with cancer and her days are numbered. have a nice evening my friend.
