Becoming a Dog

Like in the depths of summer There is a dogs days of winter When inside is the best place to be And dogs just want to lay around sleeping The older I get the more like them I become Contented to sit and read, go for daily walks And eat; not necessarily in that order And the happier I am just doing nothing It’s not tough being such a dog With all my basic needs met There are advantages to becoming old after all Like simply waking to another day (1/5/25)
