A Dog's Day

         By

John Riminton

I wag my tail

and pant with glee.

I know that's something

They like to see.

We'll soon be off

on another walk.

Throwing sticks

and laughing talk.

Life is good.

They scratch my ears

I bark when needed

to calm their fears.

I'm part of the family

I love their boys,

and they love me

Even more than toys.

When evening comes

I know I'll be fed.

Then a tummy stroke

and we're off to bed.

I'm committed.
