I Hate You Dog
Especially when your nudge my ear
with a wet nose
at 4 A.M. in the morning
then woof like an airhorn right into it.
It sure gets old, and it never fails
to send me into a tailspin
twirling madly in that alarm clock
I call my heart.
I should not let you sleep in the bedroom,
but then you'd just chew the sofa up.
At the back door freezing my ass off -
grumbling.
I hate you dog,
You come back in
flop down, legs-up,
paws waving in the air
demanding a belly rub.
O for God's sake!
