Old Jet

Day was very sunny, Old Jet felt so funny, Old black lab, muzzle grey, His family off to work today, Old Jet lay down to sleep, Left alone, watchdog to keep, His gait was slow, Not much get up and go, Jet slumbered on, Not too long, His canine dreams bemusing, Flashbacks Old Jet perusing, Brilliant happy companion days, Lots of fun and rambling plays, Ben was his best loved lad, Now his unofficial dad, Jet's loyalty never wavered, Yes, Ben he always favoured, Pats and hugs and lots of snacks, All kindness, time to relax, Old Jet's breathing slowed, Snoring on, time to go, Asleep in the sun, one deep sigh, No one home to say goodbye, No drama, no fuss, Old Jet's no longer with us, His long life was over, Puppy Heaven for old rover, Old Jet had breathed his last, Finally, Old Jet had passed.
