Love and Irritations

Dog-gone

I love that big fool

He stares at me while he drools

Moves one eyebrow up or down

Depending on the direction he moves his head

Brown fur and warm undercoat

Pure muscle without bloat

He will lay his paws on your shoulders

Cast-iron stomach that can digest small boulders.

Drool you fool, drooling is so cool

When you are your size...

You have such big brown eyes

That only a Mother could love

Wag that long tail of yours

So sturdy, a woman can hang her purse

Sometimes you bark with a verse

Too loud for these sensitive ears.

But if I lost you, there would be tears

Plenty.

You have to be fed two times at least

Every time I see you, I say, "What a beast!"

Your kibble to you is a gourmet feast

You are so easy to tease...

I love you, you big brown furry fool

Dog-gone it, now I'm late for school.
