For Dog Lovers With a Sense of Humor
If it wasn’t for my dog Bonzo
people who pass me in the park
would never greet me at all.
It may as well be dark.
I find this strange, and yet
it’s flattering because
though I’m denied a greeting,
my dog never is?
Are we not all
of the same human race,
subject to every pitfall
and destined for the same place?
On life’s one-way journey,
with its many a curve and bend,
you’d think they’d acknowledge me –
after all, I am my dog’s best friend.
