Part of my Heart Belongs to a Dog


My Labrador lies by me and snores
He slumbers more and more
He dreams and twitches and sleep-woofs
When he wakes, yawning and yowling
He demands blueberries and carrots and love
A can-be cantankerous walker
Occasionally puppyish and playful
Old and lumpy and mad
He is my strange baby
