Children and Dogs Replenish My Soul
As I spend as little time as possible with hard-headed pompous adults
Avoiding antiquated arrogant beliefs, often set in stubborn stone,
Avoiding inane conversations and minds that have not grown,
Consuming sweet drinks, forgoing liquor for cold chocolate malts,
Dousing my hamburger with ketchup, forgoing mayo and salts,
Laughing with purity at stories from those not completely grown,
Who often replenish and restore my ready soul until I make it home,
Spending time with children gives me optimistic, satisfactory results,
If you can’t secure a child related or not, a loving animal will have to make do.
Dogs I have met are furry, cuddly, loyal and enthusiastically eager to please.
I am just trying to explain my own personal in-touch-with-my- feelings view.
Following this lead shouldn’t be unfair to anyone you’ll ever want to squeeze.
Cats are not so willing to please; you will actually become a minion to these.
A loving dog will choose to sleep on your bed, his whole body eagerly pushing you.
