A little silly but still very true, keep the sounds down!!!
Friday Night
Friday evening with pups lying on the sofa
warm and soft laying deep asleep
tongues pink, nose wet, gentle sighs
downward dog next to me like pure yoga
TV glows as uniformed Seal team
walks through streets of dirt and death
as actors carry large assualt weapons
amid the noise of guns and screams
Both dogs wake up with a wide yawn
eyes focused on me curious about the sounds
one goes back to sleep the other listens
then closes her eyes, all worries gone
Tonight runs Seals, SUV, Salvation
the dogs change positions once again
as serial killers take over the screen
though my dogs gaze at me at ease
and their eyes close to sleep soundly again.
Those quick looks at me through
the screams and guns last a moment
for I am their devoted guardian
I will always come to their rescue
in the midst of the worse mayhem
