Don Johnson Poet Ballad

Saddest

saddest thing i had to do,
was to put a bullet into you,
my mate Mick Cattle dog,

Yes sadness takes the game,
but we go on, and do remain,
johnson's still in his domain,
the land of the never never.... 

Thanks John  F,

Don

Dan Kearley December 2, 2011 at 5:46 PM I dread the day that I have to write a similar poem :-( Don Johnson December 2, 2011 at 7:10 PM A very hard thing to do, his broken back, forced me to, remove his agony and crying....

Debbie Guzzi December 2, 2011 at 5:38 PM awww wouldn't an injection have been kinder? fret Light & Love Don Johnson December 2, 2011 at 7:07 PM it was 1962 no vets just kangaroos, a bullet in the brain is quicker, i've seen dogs fight the needle too, the outcome brings us pain...

Russell Sivey December 2, 2011 at 5:26 PM Very well written write there Don! How unfortunate that you had to lose your cattle dog through your own hands. Then you remain in your own domain, into never never land we go... Don Johnson December 2, 2011 at 7:12 PM Russell, fate takes sometimes, a course perverse, to force your hand, with its bloody curse, and something ends up dying...
