Tod Burns Poem
I'll never forget the dog named Lou,
When he came to us he was no bigger than my shoe.
He was friendly to all , that was his take,
But he was my wife's dog make no mistake.
Of the dog's that I've known,
Throughout their lives as they've grown,
There was an essence of Lou,
That always shone through.
He was a black flash of twist in the air, land on his feet,
A ball chasing gentleman, it was land and repeat,
And when you called he came, he didn't fight,
I tell you that Lou was all right.
Too quickly he grew old, he never liked the cold,
His beard became grey, and he slept all day,
He'd lie in his bed, could barely lift his head,
And when he battled to hear, I knew the end was near.
I'll never forget the dog named Lou

Tod Burns Poem
I remember when it was the two of us,
We tackled the world, and the world unfurled.
Yes things were tough, but I knew we'd be okay cause together we'd go grey.
But then a change came and I didn't know the rules of that game.
The bomb in Cape Town, first brought my world down,
Then your weekend away, well what can I say?
"I" went for mental tinkering, what the @#$% was I thinkering?
But your week away, is what caused me to pray.
And when you confessed, I crumpled to the floor like a sack of hot mess,
In tears I asked, "What have you done?" I saw our years together reduced to none.
Cause when you replied, a part of me died,
You see, I'd given you my heart, and you ripped it apart.
Your infidelity took the best of me, and @#$%^& with the rest of me,
I don't wish you ill, a part of me loves you still,
But when you gave yourself away, though you were sacred to me, I knew there and then, it would no longer "be we".
You see, I'd given you my heart, and you ripped it apart.
You made a hole in my soul, that used to be whole,
I was known as he with the grin, but the grin became thin,
In anger and pain I started again,
You see I'd given you my heart, and you ripped it apart
It hasn't been easy to get going again, I'm not the same cause ruins remain.
I got on with my life, I found me a wife,
She's too honest and true, so I shouldn't be blue.
But when I gave you my heart, you ripped it apart.
