Food, water, bones, and a walk <br />Are four words my dog would say if he could only talk. <br />He'd say lets play ball but don't throw it too far <br />'Cause I don't want to get run over by that oncoming car. <br />Let's not play 'roll over' it hurts my back <br />For my stomach is getting a bit too fat. <br />I'll jump through the hoola hoop for some Peanut Butter Crunch <br />But not just a little I want a bunch. <br />He'd say 'play shake' what a total bore <br />But if it makes you happy I'll do it once more. <br />Don't give me a bath 'cause you know I'll try to bite <br />And it's not polite for me and you to fight. <br />He'd say how about some popcorn, I'm hungry, I'm ready for a snack <br />I'm sorry I ran away but you knew that I'd come back. <br />He'd say now I will go to sleep 'cause my stomach is so full <br />But when I wake up I want part of your Chocolate Chip Cookie laying in my bowl. <br />Although he is demanding and loves to get his way <br />He always makes me happy every single day. <br />When troubles seem to surround me and I'm feeling kind of down <br />He licks my hand to show me he'll always be around. <br />Not only is he my friend he means everything to me <br />My favorite dog in the whole wide world is what he'll always be. <br /> <br />************************************************************************ <br />Chico died Saturday, March 2,1996. I'll miss him forever. Good friends like him come around once in a lifetime.<br /><br />Sherri Vogel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-dog-15/
