Everyone Should Have a Dog

Everyone Should Have a Dog Everyone should have a dog, If only to walk in the moonlight, To visit cirrus clouds against black blue, Or the man in a super orange moon. Everyone should have a dog, To walk at night neath a plane’s tired drones, To envision folks wearily flying home, And let shoulders drop and repose. Everyone should have a dog, To walk and pause a jogger’s run, Say hello, encourage their perseverance. Everyone should have a dog. To spy that one star brave to beam through even mist, And catch young lovers in a front porch kiss, Under buttermilk skies or solid night gray Everyone should have a dog. To breathe fresh breezes on a summer warm face, That wash away any day’s disgrace, To think of your own special one. Everyone should have a dog.
