The Perils of Being Our Age

Dog demands attention and food.
Loves to be petted.
Rolls around on the floor like a pig in slop.
Legs in the air.
My husband claps.
I clap.
Her one trick.
She is the only baby who still lives with us.
The perils of being in our sixties.

Caren, I love this poem's one trick pony pup. I love it when my dog revels in the day that way. -Richard

My dachshund, Bonzo, does the same as your dog, yet he's no peril to my age. Thanks for reading my work. Always appreciated. / M
