My Dog Shelbie

You make me laugh,
my furry butt friend.

It makes no difference where we go,
you would follow me to the end.

And what a disgrace you are!
Have you no shame!?

You seek out for consumption other dog’s remains,
and leave a gift for all to see!  Oh!  From that you cannot refrain!

But it’s that object, why do I find so much humor from your hunched pose,
that I’ll send its image to friends in response to their lucid texts composed.

Your head is on my shoulder as we sup together, as you beg by my side.
Oh!  How can I resist those pudgy lips, and those cute Aussie bright eyes?

You do everything to please me, even gather my shoes.
Oh!  You are my perfect fuzz face friend with all to gain and nothing to lose.

I guess we are stuck together, I say to you with a wink and a nod,
It's you and me kid, like two peas in a pod.

“How about a walk?  Let me get the leash... and the bags.”
