Ditch An Itch

Hey boy I’m your long time suffering dog
I need some of that love and tender care,
I’m no farm yard live in the mire hog
Here inside this thick fur lair
Home to them damn fleas I swear,
While you get it away when on the grog.
Glad you are here at last some attention
To check on my stress and hypertension.

Dogs do have that unconditional love down pat, in the end all they want is a pat. Good one Harry.
